No Paragraphs in Posts on Homepage (3 posts)

    Hello,

    I am fairly new to wordpress, so bear with me. :) We had a custom template made for us and we are having issues with our posts looking different on our home page than on their individual page. They appear correct on their individual page, but when it appears on the home page, there are no spaces in the paragraphs and everything seems to run together.

    Anyone have ideas on how we can fix this? If you want to see what I'm talking about, you can view it on our site here.

    Thanks so much!!

    That's because the stock WordPress the_excerpt tag (which is what is used on the homepage) filters HTML content. If you expect the paragraphs to show up properly on the home page then get the developer to filter the_excerpt so it shows p tags.

    You could also go to the top right corner of the post edit screen, click on screen options and check 'Excerpt' then write a custom excerpt for each post and not use paragraphs in it.
