Text editor strips formatting and styling

  • I’m using frontend text editor for front end submission.
    I have setup tinyMCE, and visual editor appears good, with all the buttons I wanted. But when I input text and make it BOLD or anything else, when I echo that content on another page, it is shown as plain text, without any formatting.
    This is the code I use at add post page:

    <?php 

$settings = array(
									'wpautop' => false,
									'postContent' => 'content',
									'media_buttons' => false,
									'editor_css' => '<style>.mceToolba { background-color: #faf9f4; padding: 5px; }</style>',
									'tinymce' => array(
										'toolbar1' => 'bold,italic,underline,blockquote,separator,strikethrough,bullist,numlist,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,undo,redo,link,unlink,fullscreen',
										'toolbar2' => 'pastetext,pasteword,removeformat,|,charmap,|,outdent,indent,|,undo,redo',
										'toolbar3' => '',
										'toolbar4' => ''
									),
									'quicktags' => false
								);

								wp_editor( $postContent, 'postContent', $settings );

							?>

    and this one on view page to echo that content:

    <?php echo the_content(); ?>

    What am I doing wrong?

  • Looks like the above code gets mangled, can you repost with the code tags?

    Sorry, I did wrap it inside “code”, don’t know why it came up like this.

    $settings = array(
'wpautop' => true,

'toolbar3' => '',
'toolbar4' => ''
),
'quicktags' => false
);

wp_editor( $postContent, 'postContent', $settings );
