More than a year ago, there were promises that after a decade long bug hell the editor for WA blogging would be finally fixed. It was and still so very frustrating, when headin
What specific issues are you having. I use the editor all the time, and if there are any specific issues please point them out Andy and we can address. We fix all bugs as they come in.
Like other editors, you need to put a hard break in between a heading and the following body text. Not sure if that is the issue here, but if you can please clarify all of your issues we will get them sorted.
We are of course constantly updating the platform here, and if you have bugs to report we will get them in and they will get resolved.
Hi Kyle, thanks for your reply. I get frustrated fast when things don't work as they should. Sorry about that.
Yes, I understand how word processors work.
Okay, so here is what happens:
I write the whole post, headings set H2 and H3. The rest is paragraph style, and all looks good, as the editor is WYSIWG. Then I post it and BAM!
One or two of the headers change to paragraph style. Then I go back and edit, change it to H2 or H3 and all look good again. Then I post it. And now another heading changes. Back to edit, post again... and so on. The last post I just did I had to edit and repost several times and it is still not good. I just gave up.
That was the same problem back then, too. I am not sure why it's not fixed yet. Am I the only one experiencing it?
Strange, I think it is because it is a difficult one to reproduce. If you send me an exact post where I could reproduce and document this, I could get our team to look into it.
Are you copying the content from somewhere else, or is it being created directly within the editor? Sometimes that can have in impact as well as that is good to know.
If I can catch this in the "act" I can get it fixed with way more efficiency as our team then has access to a live example of the problem.
Let me know here Andy and we will get this sorted.
I had the post written myself. How about I record it and then give you a onedrive, googledrive or dropbox link with it? I have all three so you choose which one is best for you.
Yes, that would be awesome. I will need the exact post URL if possible as well, so our team could reproduce and get this sorted.
Any one of those work just fine. Google drive may be the best though.
Okay, so the post URL is: Tank Niche: Part II Completing the website The highlighting on the video is just to show you how that text keeps reverting to paragraph style from a new line H2. I copied nothing.
Here is the google drive link. Please let me know if there is any problem with it.

Also, please note that now I use Ubuntu 24.04. I just wanted to let you know that, but I don't think it matters because last year when I raised this problem I used Windows.
Thank you for looking into it.

Why has the wa editor not been fixed yet?

Hi Magus,
I totally understand your frustration with the WA editor. It can be really disheartening when technical issues get in the way of your productivity. While I don’t have the answers on why it hasn’t been fully fixed yet, I’ve found that reaching out to support directly with specific examples can sometimes help speed up the process. They might be able to provide more information or work on a solution more quickly if they know exactly what’s happening.
In the meantime, I've found it helpful to write drafts in another editor like Google Docs or Word and then paste them into the WA editor. That way, I avoid some of the formatting headaches. Hopefully, they’ll address these bugs soon, but in the meantime, we’ll have to hang in there. If you find any workarounds or updates, please share—I’m sure others would appreciate it too!
