Was having problems with a fresh install of any type of template. I kept getting the error:

JFolder::create: Could not create directory

I was tempted to chmod all of my site but though NAAAAHHHH!!! So, I decided to try and find the problem. I changed the following line of code in /libraries/joomla/filesystem/folder.php

'JFolder::create: Path is:' . $path . " " . JText::_('Could not create directory'),


around line 234 and it outputted the offending folder.... Cache. I chmod cache to 777 and all was fine....

Look for code in plugins/editors/tinymce.php that looks similar to this and change it as below:

if ($newlines) { // br
$forcenewline = "force_br_newlines : true, force_p_newlines : false, forced_root_block : '',";
} else { // p
$forcenewline = "force_br_newlines : false, force_p_newlines : true, forced_root_block : '',";
}

This will remove the default <p> tag from your Editor.
