WordPress get_the_content function no paragraph tags

Posted on April 20, 2011 by thecitizen

Did you just use the WordPress get_the_content function and realize that all of the line breaks from the visual editor are not being returned as paragraph tags?

Solution: Apply the appropriate filters as outlined in the WordPress codex…

<?php
$content = get_the_content();
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]&gt;', $content);

echo $content; ?>

Thanks
that helped.
But how did that happen? I have other blog, with the same entries stored inside the database (I checked with phpmyadmin) but where the line breaks don’t disappear.
