Formatting text outside of WP and loop

    Hey everyone. I just have one last thing (at least for now *wink, wink*) that I need to get done. Currently I am using Event Calendar 2 which basically pulls data directly from WP to an external page found here:

    https://www.foxvalleyshows.com/shows.php

    My problem is that the text isn’t formatting correctly. On my main WP page the Text is though. For example on the WP page text would look like this:

    Friday, July 15th, 2005

    Where: the Monkey Wrench
    Who: Ed Gein, Fraility Of Mar, Azarich’s Prayer, Laid Before Angels
    Time: 7pm
    Cost: $5

    Reason being is that its using Textile or something to format the listings. But because I am using EC2 that directly pulls the data from WP (without any formatting), everything when its pulled externally is on ONE line.

    I would really like to avoid having to place HTML tags inside of all my posts to get the desired effect.

    Is there a nice plugin out there that could handle this or does anyone have ideas about some code I could use to fix this?

    Thanks again for everyones’ help so far in getting this project off the ground, for that I am truly thankful:)

  • This is another of those “the plugin ain’t handlin’ things right” issues. If you’re actually using the code from here:

    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/38994#post-220485

    or actually any version of that ec2_get_events_list() function, you can change this line in it:

    echo "$entry->post_content";

    to:

    echo apply_filters('the_content', $entry->post_content);

    This *should* force WP’s text formatting filters (and any from plugins) to be used on the post content.
