WordPress Daily Routine

HTML or line breaks are removed, extra spacing appears, or tags are stripped.

Content Formatting Breaks After Saving

Key Points: Your beautifully formatted content gets mangled after saving — paragraphs disappear, tags vanish, or spacing explodes.

You align a quote, embed a video, add a line break — and after updating the page, everything shifts or breaks. WordPress sometimes sanitizes a little too hard.

📉 Common Culprits

• wpautop() converting line breaks improperly
• Editor filters stripping inline styles or HTML tags
• Plugin or theme modifying the_content filter
• Improper use of block templates or reusable blocks

🛠️ How to Stabilize

1. Use Code Editor view in Gutenberg to inspect raw HTML
2. Add allowed tags via kses_allowed_html filter if needed
3. Temporarily switch themes to isolate formatting filters
4. Use remove_filter('the_content','wpautop') only if you fully control your theme

📎 Bonus

Don’t trust the visual preview blindly — always check HTML if formatting is critical, especially with nested elements or custom embeds.
