Right, I’ve managed to get to the bottom of this myself and thought I should share in case anyone else encounters similar problems…

I found this code in the UM plugin that clear as day shows why I’m experiencing this problem:

ultimate-member/includes/core/class-shortcodes.php:
  203  		function is_um_page() {
  204  			if ( is_ultimatemember() ) {
  205 				remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
  206  			}
  207  		}

I assume there is a good reason for removing the filter but obviously I don’t want it to affect other areas of the page (i.e. my sidebar) so I added the following before my sidebar content:

if ( is_ultimatemember() ) { add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' ); }

and then after my sidebar content:

if ( is_ultimatemember() ) { remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' ); }

Problem solved!

I also encountered the exact same problem with bbPress (which helped me find the above solution) and this post was my saviour:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/the_content-filter-is-removed-by-not-restored-on-custom-wp_query/

So I just called bbp_restore_all_filters('the_content',0); before my sidebar and then bbp_remove_all_filters(); afterwards. Simples ??

Hi,

Further to my previous post, I’ve now reinstalled the default Twenty Seventeen theme and the problem persists. See screenshot:

Looks like it must be a UM bug? I’ve disabled all other plugins and am running the latest version of WordPress.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply ??

I haven’t tested it on the default theme, but I’m not using any other plugins and I’m using a very basic clean https://underscores.me/ theme that I’ve tweaked myself. I’m certainly not using any visual/page editors – just the default WordPress editor. Is it perhaps something hidden away in Underscore themes causing the problem?

Thanks
Julian
