<p>I'm using the WP All Export plugin to get posts out of Wordpress, and Feed Me to import to Craft 3. Problem I'm having is I can get a great XML feed out of the WP All Export plugin, but post "Content" fields lose formatting so all comes out as one blob – no paragraph tags etc... Anyone lend a hand?</p>

Does your XML contain valid HTML or does it contain plain text from the beginning? Are you using a `Redactor` field in Craft or a `Text` field?

Hi Robin. In the XML some posts contain HTML, some don't. Although far as I can see all posts in WP are formatted right. Importing into a Text field.

You need a `Redactor` field, Text fields don't parse HTML. Please change the field type and tell me if it works then

Wait, it is a Redactor field sorry. Something must be up with the export.

Okay, so looks like all that's needed is to save each entry and formatting corrects itself.
