You can use Javascript (is faster than Jquery because it uses native code):

http://jsfiddle.net/ks60L4h9/3/

var p = document.getElementsByTagName('p');

while(p.length) {
    var parent = p[ 0 ].parentNode;
    while( p[ 0 ].firstChild ) {
        parent.insertBefore(  p[ 0 ].firstChild, p[ 0 ] );
    }
     parent.removeChild( p[ 0 ] );
}

This selects all paragraphs, then uses .contents() to target the content of <p>, then .unwrap() to remove its parent <p> element.

It's more efficient to use replaceWith(), which has less cost than unwrap().

It also works for empty tags.

$(".divclass p").replaceWith(function() { return $(this).contents(); });

Simply use below code :-

$('p').contents().unwrap();

Try this,

// unwrap p tags having content;
$('.divclass p').contents()// get content of all p tags
                .unwrap() // unwrap p tags
                .siblings('p:empty') // get all p siblings which are empty
                .remove(); // and finaaly remove it
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="divclass">
   Hi this is some text. 
   <p>testing test</p>
   <p></p>
   <p><a href="#" rel="nofollow">Testing text2</a></p>
</div>

You need to unwrap the contents of p elements:

$('div p').contents().unwrap();

However you have p element which do not have contents. such tags will not be removed with code. you need to find the siblings p and then remove it.:

$('div p').contents().unwrap().siblings('p').remove();
