    In the section: Program/Event Details (optional)

    This is a text box where I can give a description, basic instructions, links to the info page or contact form, refer to the event chairs, and so on. The more text that is less ambiguities. Less ambiguities equally less unnecessary communication and correspondence. If I can give informations that are clear to read – even better.

    But, here I come across the problem. I can not format the text. When I want to write a few paragraphs (for reasons of clarity) it is not possible. It all paragraphs put in one paragraph. But … It accepts everything else. For example:

    Sample paragraph text.
    <h4>Heading</h4>
    Sample paragraph text.
    <h4>Heading</h4>
    Sample paragraph text.

    That’s perfect. But only if I put the Heading (h1, h2, h3, … whatever).

    How to force the plugin to use paragraphs with or without Heading text? Is it possible to do in a simple way?

    Thanks in advance

    I’m using the built-in wp_editor function to generate that editor, and was using pretty much the default settings. The only argument I was passing in was to define the number of lines (to keep it smaller).

    If you do an internet search, you’ll see all sorts of issues in the past with WordPress and TinyMCE stripping paragraph tags, or not properly converting line breaks to paragraphs. WordPress has a wpautop function that is supposed to automatically create those paragraph tags for line breaks when content is displayed, and that function has cause a lot of problems with various themes and content in the past, so much so that many themes purposely disable that filter on content output.

    According to the wp_editor documentation, the wpautop is set to “true” (on) by default when you use that function, so it should have been properly doing the line-breaks to p tag conversions, but apparently not. So, I tried specifically loading the edit with wpautop set to false, and that is now working, although the logic seems backwards.

    I’ll push that out in the next update along with the updated translation files.
