How can I strip <p> tags from entry content, but only if it's wrapped around a <figure>?

Question

On occasion a <figure> tag will make it through WYGWAM with a <p> wrapped around it which breaks my layout (and is incorrect formatting anyway). Can I remove just the <p> tags that appear around specific elements? If so, how?

You can use the add-on Find and Replace Plus. http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/find-and-replace-plus

This should work for you.

{exp:replace_plus}
  {replace_area find="<p><figure>" replace="<figure>"}
  {replace_area find="</figure></p>" replace="</figure>"}
    text you want processed
  {/replace_area}
  {/replace_area}
{/exp:replace_plus}
