Post loses all formatting

  • Searching yielded some issues with losing visual views while editing, but my problem goes further than that. Using Firefox 31.0 I added a post to my company blog today. I always create in Visual mode. This post contained links and media. Preview looked good, but when I posted/updated, the final draft on the website had lost all formatting and was one long paragraph with no links and no image. I thought it was WordPress and that’s when I went searching. Uninstalling plugins did not help, using another brower (both Explorer and Safari) didn’t help. Finally tried changing themes and everything looked great. Went back to Clean Retina and it was back to one big mashup. Tried three more themes and it looked great, so I’m assuming it must be the theme.

    In summary, the post in both visual mode and preview looks good. It only messes up when I make the final update to the blog. Thanks.

  • Can you post a link to your website?

    However, I have changed the theme so the post would look correct.

    Ok, I just changed it back to Clean Retina, but I can’t leave it this way for long.

    It looks like the post is being incorrectly formatted as an excerpt. Can you check to see whether a manual excerpt has been set for that post? You can tell by looking at the post editing screen and seeing if the text box in the panel marked “Excerpt” has anything in it.

    Nope, not an excerpt. I have changed it back to a theme that shows the correct formatting, so you can see what it should look like if you want. I’d really like to be able to go back to the Clean Retina theme, however.

    I actually couldn’t even see the excerpt field and then I saw why on the Excerpt page:

    Note: As of WordPress version 3.1, some screen options on the Post & Page edit Administration Panels are hidden by default. The Excerpt field is hidden by default if it has not been used before.
