Hi,

This is from your themes functions.php file, pretty much at the start

function my_formatter($content) {
	$new_content = '';
	$pattern_full = '{(\[raw\].*?\[/raw\])}is';
	$pattern_contents = '{\[raw\](.*?)\[/raw\]}is';
	$pieces = preg_split($pattern_full, $content, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);

	foreach ($pieces as $piece) {
		if (preg_match($pattern_contents, $piece, $matches)) {
			$new_content .= $matches[1];
		} else {
			$new_content .= wptexturize(wpautop($piece));
		}
	}

	return $new_content;
}
	
remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');
remove_filter('the_content', 'wptexturize');

add_filter('the_content', 'my_formatter', 99);

This function is what is modifying the default behaviour of WordPress and subsequently causing the extra and unnecessary < p > tags. You could test the behaviour by removing that script.

Important: If you try this, you will need to make sure you have FTP access, and you have backed up your files, as even a small error in the code can lock up your site, until you deactivate the theme via FTP (rename the folder).

If you are not confident with this you could refer to your webdeveloper or the them author.
