How to ensure proper formatting in WordPress posts (H2, H3, bullet points) using Make?

I’m currently trying to create WordPress posts via Make, with specific formatting that includes H2 and H3 headers, bullet points, and paragraphs. However, when the post is published on WordPress, the formatting is not displaying as expected. Instead, it looks like plain text without proper structure, as shown in the attached image.

What I’m trying to achieve: I want my posts to appear on WordPress already formatted with:

  • H2 for main headings
  • H3 for subheadings
  • Bullet points
  • Proper paragraph spacing

Issue: The posts appear without the intended structure, and it seems like WordPress isn’t recognizing the HTML or Markdown formatting tags I’m using within Make.

Question: What settings or configurations do I need to adjust in Make or WordPress to ensure that my posts are automatically published with the correct formatting? Is there a specific way to handle HTML tags or Markdown so that WordPress recognizes them as intended?

Thank you in advance for any guidance or solutions!

Welcome to the Make community!

To allow others to assist you with your scenario, please provide the following:

1. Relevant Screenshots

Please share screenshots of your scenario, any error messages, relevant module fields, and filters in question? It would really help other community members to see what you’re looking at.

You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:

2. Scenario Blueprint

Please export the scenario blueprint file to allow others to view the mapped variables in the module fields. At the bottom of the scenario editor, you can click on the three dots to find the Export Blueprint menu item.

3. Output Bundles of Modules

Please provide the output bundles of the modules by running the scenario (or get from the scenario History tab), then click the white speech bubble on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A. Upload as Text File

Save each bundle contents in your text editor as a bundle.txt file, and upload it here into this discussion thread.

B. Insert as Formatted Code Block

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
These are the two ways to format text so that it won’t be modified by the forum:

  • Method 1: Type code block manually

    Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:

    ```
    content goes here
    ```

  • Method 2. Highlight and click the format button in the editor

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario even if they do not use the external service.

Following these steps will allow others to assist you here. Thanks!

Hi! Wordpress cannot read Markdown by default and I assume that this text is generated by Ai?
Than advise the Ai to output the text as HTML.
