What’s the old way? It’s been so long since the admin panel has been upgraded to look just like what you’ve shown in that image. Be more specific and that will help us give the answers you need.
I think my old version was 2.0, and as I remember it, it automatically formatted anything you wrote.
Options >> Writing >> Format
Is “Users should use the visual rich editor by default” checked off?
Users >> Your Profile >> Personal Options (that’s near the bottom of the page)
Is “Use the visual rich editor when writing” checked off?
Oh, thank you. I don’t have the Options >> Writing >> Format option, but it’s there in the Your Profile page.
Thanks.
Does that solve the problem? If so, can you mark this “Resolved”?
I am having the same problem. I checked Your Profile and the box is checked to use the visual editor. I can go into the Code tab when writing and put an html formatted page in, and if I just Save it looks fine. But if I Save and Continue Editing, or go back to edit the page later, all formatting is lost. I check the Code tab again and it’s all one big block of text.
I am on the latest version of WP, 2.3.1.
Sorry, just realized how old this thread is. But the problem is still there in the latest version, so does anyone know of a fix?
