Title: Exended Post Problem Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Exended Post Problem * [softstor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/softstor/) * (@softstor) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exended-post-problem/) * I am having difficulty using Exended Posts. I have WordPress 1.5.1.3 installed and I tried the following text in my posting: * line1 line2 line3 line4 * The above does not seem to work. It displayes all 5 lines actually as above. * What is the procedure to get the extended posts to work?

This means that if it’s the only post in the system, it’s not going to work, and it also means that if you have it set to display only one post on the front page, it isn’t going to work. * -tg * Thread Starter [softstor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/softstor/) * (@softstor) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exended-post-problem/#post-267876) * The blog site is at [http://www.cellphone-reviews.org/](http://www.cellphone-reviews.org/) and there are many posts on the main page.

IIRC, Markdown and Textile are not compatible. Use one or the other. * [elessar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elessar/) * (@elessar) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exended-post-problem/#post-267910) * I dont have any plugins installed, and i still cant get the to work. * Thread Starter [softstor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/softstor/) * (@softstor) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exended-post-problem/#post-267911) * Thanks for the info on the plugins. I have removed Textile and now where the was displayed, now it does not display anything. * My source message looks like this in the editor: ———— line 1 line 2 * * Line 3 Line 4 ———— * But on the screen it looks like this: * ———— Line 1 Line 2 * Line 3 Line 4 ————– * Does anyone have any ideas why the is not doing anything? * [logista](https://wordpress.org/support/users/logista/) * (@logista) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exended-post-problem/#post-267912) * softstor: you still have a conflict with the plugins. From a quick browse of the [economy size geek](http://www.economysizegeek.com/?p=692) website: * > Also – I got a complaint that Markdown causes problems with Postie. Postie > will now complain about it. I’ve never used Markdown before – so if any of > ya’ll do – someone please confirm that it still causes a problem and that > it wasn’t just the HTML -No Images problem. * from a glance at your source, you’ve got one plugin putting `

` markers in, and another adding `
` after the fact. * Thread Starter [softstor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/softstor/) * (@softstor) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exended-post-problem/#post-267919) * I do not think it is a plugin problem. I just removed every single plugin and it still shows the same. In fact, when I type an article in the editor I noticed that every line is double spaced. Any clues why this is happening? * Thread Starter [softstor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/softstor/) * (@softstor) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exended-post-problem/#post-268086) * I downloaded Firefox, and when I create a new post it does not add the [p][/p] on every line. This only happens when I use IE. * Is there some fix when using IE?
