Format HTML so that tags are not rendered as text

    I am able to import my data and map the fields correctly, but the data that goes into the post_content has HTML tags in it, and these are imported and rendered as text, not as HTML.
    I have tried the import with the HTML tags both as entities and in their normal form, but the result is the same. I know there are sample CSV files available, but the couple I looked at did not give examples that have HTML in the content field. If there is a particular one that shows how to do it, please point me to that one, or let me know what I have to do to the HTML so that it will be rendered instead of output as text. Thanks.

    Kindly attach your sample csv file to us. We will check and update you back.

    I posted the CSV file at https://tempftp.ivygroup.com/datatoimport/convertcsv.csv. The first couple entries look like test data, and they don’t have HTML content, but the rest do. All the HTML is inserted into the post_content as text when I import, whether the entities are encoded or not. Thanks.

    Our importer works with WordPress core functionalities. so html_entity will not be encoded when importing using our importer. Kindly use the normal html tag in your csv (post_content) for getting your text encoded. Here I attached the sample csv for your reference link

    OK, thanks for the sample file. I formatted my HTML the same way, and I was able to import it. (I had to break the import file into 3 smaller files first, but the import is working now.) Thanks.
