The content not wrapped in paragraph tags with get_page_by_title()

Question

I am using $page = get_page_by_title('name'); to get the contents of a page. When I echo $page->post_content; none of the content is wrapped in p tags like it is when run threw the normal wordpress loop using the_content(). Is there a different way I should get this data so it will contain the proper tags?

Answer 1

You can apply the content filters to $page->post_content like so:

echo apply_filters('the_content', $page->post_content);
