Formatting in sponsor description

    Hello,

    Great plugin!

    Wondering if it is possible to include line breaks and paragraphs in the visual editor for the sponsor description? We are putting a description and phone in some of them and, while I can add a
    tag between them in the text editor and it displays correctly after publish, it disappears when I go in to edit the sponsor again. I’d prefer my clients didn’t have to use the text editor as they do not know html.

    Here is the test site I where I am using the widget in the footer:

    Thank so much!

    Hi Jan,

    If I put in a paragraph or line break in the visual editor it doesn’t show at all. If I add it in the text editor, it displays correctly after publish, however it is gone when I go in to edit the sponsor again later.

    Does that make sense?

    It does, and I can reproduce it on my end. I’ll see if I can do anything about that.

    Hey!

    I tried a couple of things and I think I have it fixed.
    Would you be willing to try this beta before I release the update to everyone?
    You can download the test version here:

    I am on vacation but will be able to try this out on Wednesday afternoon.

    Allright, keep me posted ??

    Hi Jan,

    I’ve played with this a bit and found the following:

    • I can now add a line break in the visual editor and it displays correctly and also is still there after saving and going back in to edit later.
    • If I add a paragraph return, it shows in the visual editor and stays there after save but shows only as a line break on the actual webpage. A double line break doesn’t work either.

    The line break is fine for my current needs but it may still be confusing or frustrating for other users who would like to add a paragraph.

    Here are screenshots of the editor and result if it helps:

    Please let me know if you need any clarification.

    Thanks so much for your attention to this!

    Thanks for testing!
    The paragraphs being stripped is default WordPress behaviour so I think I’ll stick to this for now.
    I’m planning another feature that week so 1.8.6 should be out soon and will include this.
