WordPress keeps randomly converting my markdown to HTML
-
This is really frustrating. I’ve come back to WP now that it supports Markdown and LaTeX, but I’m finding the markdown feature really buggy.
It seems that completely randomly, even though I have the markdown feature on, some of my posts are being converted to HTML. So that when I open them again for editing, they are in HTML.
This isn’t happening on all posts. And I can see no rhyme or reason for when it happens.
Any ideas?

Hi there,
Sorry for the trouble you’re having with Markdown. I looked over the post you mentioned and I’m not sure yet why it switched from Markdown to HTML. I do have a few questions about it:
- When you first wrote that post, did you use Markdown? Or did you use the built-in formatting options and then switch to Markdown later?
- Did you originally write the post in the editor at https://wordpress.com/post or did you write it in the classic editor at https://clusterfoo.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php ?
- When did you first notice the HTML in that post? For example, did you see the HTML before publishing it, or only after editing the post? If you can describe the exact steps you took to edit the post, and note when you saw HTML instead of Markdown there, that will help me investigate this on my end.
