Don’t want my WordPress editor to remove <br> and <p> tags

1. Bit of a necro, but for the <p> tag you can add a class or perhaps another property.

   e.g.

   <p class="nothing-relevant">Foo</p>

   will not be stripped (using Gutenberg).

2. there are plugins that are more accurate, but you can just add these lines in functions.php

   remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
   remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop' );
