I have a Matrix field with a Rich Text Cell Type. When I output it on the frontend there are no paragraph tags. How do I add them? Other tags (e.g. <strong> display fine).

enter image description here

{exp:channel:entries channel="channel_faq"}
{matrix_faqs}
    <dt>{question}</dt>
        <dd>{answer}</dd>
{/matrix_faqs}
{/exp:channel:entries}

EE 2.6.1

Matrix 2.5.6

Go into Admin > Channel Administration > Channels > Edit Preferences (beside the appropriate channel). Under “Channel Posting Preferences”, make sure that the “Default HTML formatting in channel entries” setting is set to “Allow ALL HTML”.

  • Thanks @Brandon for the lightning quick response, but I can confirm I already have it set to "Allow ALL HTML" on the Channel. I've tried changing it and setting it back, but no effect.

    In that case it sounds like a bug with EE’s RTE field. You would be far from the first person to have similar issues with it. Most people end up just going with a third party WYSIWYG fieldtype like Wygwam.

To help you, try this.

Go to the following db table and check that your paragraph tags are being saved: exp_matrix_data

If they dont exist then the issue is with matrix cell.

If the do exist, then check the source code of the rendered html page.

  • Thanks @dadonbike. I've checked the exp_matrix_data and there is no markup for paragraphs (<p>) in there. I can see other markup (e.g. <b>). So the issue is with Matrix?

  • The gentleman here, Brandon Kelly has also given you a clue. Hes also the guy who wrote Matrix, so now you know the issue is with Matrix. Beyond that i cant help you.
