 * Found it
 *     ```
       <?php
       $page_columns = explode ("[--column--]", $post->post_content);
       print apply_filters('the_content', $page_columns[0]);
       print '<div class="column first">';
       print apply_filters('the_content', $page_columns[1]);
       print '</div>';
       print'<div class="column second">';
       print apply_filters('the_content', $page_columns[2]);
       print '</div>';
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Worked for me.

 * Sorry for the bump!
 * I’m using the post_content for my pages because I’m working with columns:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $page_columns = explode ("[--column--]", $post->post_content);
       print $page_columns[0];
       print '<div class="column first">';
       print $page_columns[1];
       print '</div>';
       print'<div class="column second">';
       print $page_columns[2];
       print '</div>';
       ?>
       ```
   
 * But… when I’m using this, there will be no paragraph tags.
    How do I use the 
   pasted code above in combination with the `<?php echo apply_filters('the_content',
   $post->post_content); ?>`?
 * (sorry for my bad English)
