We have a secondary blog on our site with just one category. I used the shortcode for blog (see below), but when viewing the blog list on that page, it takes all formatting out and shrinks all paragraphs into one giant paragraph for each post. When viewing the posts on their own pages, they are fine, but when viewing the list of them, they strip out the formatting.

Shortcode I am using — [blog cat=”kenya” limit=”-1″ pagination=”true” postmeta=”true”]

URL for this blog — http://rccsalem.com/kenyablog/

For reference, I do not want to use the built-in blog for this, as that is already setup for our main blog (http://rccsalem.com/rccblog). This is specifically for the “Missions-Kenya” category, as it will be where that missions team posts updates during their trip.

Also, as you can see on the blog list page (rccsalem.com/kenyablog), the featured images are showing up at the top of the blog posts. How can I disable that?

The only way I’ve found to have the posts format properly is to go into the HTML and add <p> tags around every paragraph. This is not good for our authors unfamiliar with HTML.

If you can provide us WP Logins to your website with URL then we can take a closer look at it. Make sure you set the post as private reply so that only admin can see your wp-logins.

Thanks. Could you explain what was going on so we can fix it ourselves in the future?

Also, featured images are still showing up above each blog post in the list. The ones I’ve found, I just deleted the featured image for now. But I’d like to be able to use them.

There is no feature to enable or disable the featured image. But if you don’t want to use it, you can remove it by going to that particular post.

Yes, that’s what I did. Why is there no feature to do that on category-focused blogs like this? I can easily disable featured images from showing up in the main blog through the Hopes settings.

Fixed the issue. Check it once and let me know whether it’s working fine or not.
Added an extra option(featured image- enable/disable) for blog shortcode.
Edited Files: blog.php, shortcode-generator.php, shortcode.js
