Page Content Will Not Format Correctly (Custom Theme)

    I am developing a custom theme and somewhere along the line my pages’ content (entered through the regular content editor of the page editor) will not format correctly. For instance, if I enter a list in the content of the page, it renders as just a single paragraph.

    I’m newer to developing themes, so is it possible I left out a php file that specifies how to render page content (other than the loop)?

    So far, I have an index.php, page.php, front-page.php, and some page-slug.php’s. When I switched to twentysixteen theme, the page content would format correctly, so there is a problem with my theme. Does anyone have an idea of where to start?

    Thanks!

    Dos this happen across all template pages or is it specific to one template?

    Even the pages that draw from page.php. Not just the template pages (like page-about.php, or page-contact.php)

    Thank you for your response. I just looked at my code and saw that I had copied a “the loop” with the_excerpt() used instead of the_content() so I suppose that fixes this problem. I appreciate your response and willingness to help!
