I updated Divi from 3.15 to 3.17.3, and all of a sudden [wpv-post-body] does not output any <p> tags anymore, so all post bodies are just jammed together as seen in this URL:

hidden link

This is confirmed using a backup. Please use the dev site provided below to troubleshoot.

First look at
hidden link

THen update Divi to 3.17.3

Look at the same page again, p tags got stripped.

Please I need this resolved ASAP, thank you.

Please use the dev site provided for troubleshooting. I had to rollback the live site to Divi 3.15 to temporarily resolve the problem.

Thanks

Hi,

I suggest you add attribute suppress_filters="true" to the post body shortcode, like this:
[wpv-post-body view_template="None" suppress_filters="true"]

More help:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-post-body
suppress_filters (opt):
'true' | 'false' (default)
If suppress_filters=’true’, all third party (non WordPress) filters hooked into the_content filter will be removed

[devinH]

suppress_filters is already set to true to get rid of the orphaned <p> tag.

The problem is that [wpv-post-body], whether with suppress_filters enabled or not, doesn't output any <p> tag at all. Post bodies now don't show any line breaks.

I have tried it in your test site:
1) Upgrade to DIVI theme 3.17.4
2) Edit the content template: Template for Posts
hidden link

Find the [wpv-post-body] shortcode, replace it with:
[wpv-post-body view_template="None" suppress_filters="true"]

Test it in front-end:
hidden link

I can see the line break same as your website:

See screenshot line-break.JPG

Is there anything missing?

The problem was with 3.17.3 published on October 30th. Elegant Themes must've realized they screwed up and published 3.17.4. I updated the live site to 3.17.4 without changing anything and everything seems to be back to normal.

Thanks
