I posted this question on wodpress.stackexchange.com without getting any response.
I realized it could be a programming issue in PHP.
I am trying to publish a blog post into wordpress based website from Microsoft Live Writer. Here is the sample text that I added in Microsoft which I published as well.
" Temporary Blog Post
I am adding a temporary blog post here
Let’s see how it goes
Thanks"
However, when I published the post, this is how it looked
/pI am adding a temporary blog post here
/ppLet’s see how it goes
/ppThanks
Notice the \pp
tags which is getting added in text.
Any idea the reason behind the formatting error? I thought when you publish from Microsoft word or Microsoft Live Writer, it should look the same as in the Microsoft Word/Live Writer.
Update : I am having the same error when I am posting from other publishing software like Windows Live Writer etc.
By default, WordPress automatically inserts paragraph tags all over the place when displaying ‘the_content’ – this often gets in the way when you’re trying to space out your text, and also creates validation issues (inserting implicit p tag). If you want to strip the automatically inserted paragraph tags from your content, simply insert this line in your template file above ‘the_content’ tag:
<?php remove_filter (‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’); ?>
OR
Use the cleanup_shortcode_fix() function that should help with your issue.
