How to avoid auto-inserting <p> and <br> tag in Wordpress?

[praveen-r]

One of the annoying features of the popular blogging platform Wordpress, is its automatic correction and presumed way of editing the HTML code you insert in creating your posts.Here we are facing this issue in many cases. Now a stage occurred in Matrix that We can't move ahead without solving this. Anybody able to help us?
we already used 3-4 plugins for fixing it so please avoid those..
1. NoAutoP
2. Disable wpautop
3. ps-disable-auto-formatting
4. If we are using FCK editor we can solve this, but that time we can't include php.
5. Edited function.php and inserted <?php remove_filter ('the_content', 'wpautop'); ?>. But no change.

We can preventing WordPress from adding <p> and <br> tags completely in our posts/contents. Just modify this page /wp-includes/formatting.php

Change the following line

function wpautop($pee, $br = 1) {

to
function wpautop($pee, $br = 0) {

AND

comment this line for preventing extra <p> tags

$pee = preg_replace('/\n?(.+?)(?:\n\s*\n|\z)/s', "<p>$1</p>\n", $pee);
