    Hello,

    For some unknown reason, my auto-XHTML paragraph tags are failing to appear.

    I have a simple custom field with a Textarea default text-setting of XHTML.

    I am not using any custom plugins or customs add-ons.

    As an example, the following text is being rendered as:

    B1 - Parallel Bar Dips B2 - Lying Supine DB Triceps Extension B3 - Standing Cable Rope Pressdown

    Instead of this:

    B1 - Parallel Bar Dips
    B2 - Lying Supine DB Triceps Extension
    B3 - Standing Cable Rope Pressdown

    Which is how it was typed into the Textarea.  My line breaks are not being acknowledged and the tags don’t show when I inspect the code.

    All other elements are being formatted correctly: h1, h2, et cetera…

    Version is: v2.1.3 Build:20101220 <—Could this be the issue??

    Thanks in advance!

    Colin

    Hi Colin,

    Yes, the version could certainly be the problem here, and I wasn’t able to reproduce it in my own installation. That version’s more than a year and a half old, so I’d recommend updating to the latest version as the first step in troubleshooting.

    Once you’ve updated, let me know if you’re still experiencing this!
