Destroying markdown in posts

  • We use the Markdown functionality in Jetpack and have a number of contributors who author posts in Markdown via apps such as Editorial.

    One of the recent updates has had an adverse affect on our workflow, instead of leaving Markdown intact within posts, the markdown syntax is now being converted to HTML. Is this intentional? Is there any way to revert to the previous behaviour of retaining Markdown within the post?

    Could you walk me through the steps you follow to write and publish your posts using Markdown, and let me know when the problem start appearing, so I can try to reproduce?

    Thanks!

    This is happening for me as well.

    I work entirely in text view (WYSIWYG completely disabled), and when I go to edit a post that is published (e.g. via the Edit link on the front end), the markdown is presented as HTML. I’m not really finding a pattern as far as this happening in scheduled vs published posts or anything like that (it has happened in both types, and I have scheduled posts that still appear in markdown). For mine it could be between posts that were created originally as drafts before the update vs after but I don’t have a great way of checking that…

    Hey Jeremy,

    I’ve been in contact with Zoe and we’ve ascertained that aside from a couple of common plugins (Yoast/Akismet/Jetpack) we’re also both WPEngine customers.

    WPEngine makes a number of configuration changes for the sake of speed and efficiency, including limiting the number of post versions kept. I can provide a copy of our wp-config if useful, please let me know where you would like it sent.

    Thank you both for the extra details.

    I can’t seem to be able to reproduce the issue on my end. I tested on my local machine and on a live blog hosted with Webfaction.

    Does any of you have a blog hosted somewhere else, or a local installation of WordPress where you could try to reproduce the problem?

    I can give you access to a site which exhibits the issue, but we’re going to need to take the discussion away from the forums to provide you with credentials.
