Combining Pages strips out p tags, which I want to be automaticly added

    I’m trying to add two pages worth of content on one page like this:

    $args = array(
	'post_type' => 'page',
	'post__in'  => array(
						'9', // About Us Part 1
						'13' // About Us Part 2 - Right Side
	),
	'order' => 'asc'
);

$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
while($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
$part[] = get_the_content();
endwhile;

echo $part[0];

echo $part[1];

    This works for bringing in two pages of content, but the automatic addition of p tags doesn’t happen, and I’m wondering why. It seems like everyone wants to get rid of the p tags, but I need them! Using HTML view is not an option. If anyone can help, I’d appreciate it.

    You are displaying the raw, unformatted data from the database. To add the paragraph and other tags, you can call:

    echo apply_filters('the_content',$part[0]);

    echo apply_filters('the_content',$part[1]);

    Thank you for your answer. I have a question about it. How would using your code differ from:

    echo wpautop($part[0]);

echo wpautop($part[1]);

    Hey, that’s cool. So the answer is, the_content runs the raw data through the following functions:

    * wptexturize
    * convert_smilies
    * convert_chars
    * wpautop
    * shortcode_unautop
    * prepend_attachment
    * do_shortcode

    and wpautop is only one of them. I kinda figured it was something like that. Thanks for your time!
