How do I turn on automatic formatting for a post?

You can set the field's value to true, yes or on if you do want WordPress to use its wpautop filter to add and tags for you. (Of course, this only makes sense if you've globally disabled wpautop in the included option screen.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about wpautop control

Add a custom field called wpautop to any post. When set to false, no or off, WordPress will no longer attempt to add and tags to your posts (so you'll be responsible for adding these yourself).

You can set the field's value to true, yes or on if you do want WordPress to use its wpautop filter to add and tags for you. (Of course, this only makes sense if you've globally disabled wpautop in the included option screen.)

Set the field's value to '-break' to just disable the conversion of newlines to tags within paragraphs. I upgraded the plugin and it lost my default settings! No, it didn't. Disable and re-enable the plugin and the setting should be updated to the new setting.
