Remove_filter (‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’) is not working

by

I’ve tried disabling WP’s auto-paragraph thingy using

remove_filter ('the_content', 'wpautop');

but I am still getting my stuff wrapped in automatic <p> tags… What am I doing wrong?

Its at the bottom of a functions file. Its not in functions.php, but in a file that functions.php includes (and putting it in functions.php doesn’t change the behaviour at all).

Update:
var_dump( $wp_filter['the_content'] ); outputs NULL. How can I test why this filter isn’t being run?

Had same problem, fixed with css: 

<style>
p:empty{
  height: 0;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
</style>
