Q:

How can I remove p tags that are auto added within tinymce

I am using tinymce 4.0.1 and it automatically adds p tags when you either start typing or hit enter. How can I dynamically remove these p tags and then reinsert the content into the editor.

A:

you need to add the following line to your init statement
forced_root_block : ""

So, your complete code will be like this:
    <script>tinymce.init({forced_root_block : "",selector:'textarea'});</script>

A:

Tinymce needs a root block element, which is a paragraph by default, in order to be able to style content. So removing those paragraphs will only result in all content being wrapped into one single paragraph because tinymce is forced to use this as root block element.

A:

You can remove "p" tag by adding forced_root_block : false to your tinymce setup or you can hide the status bar by statusbar: false
