I am creating a react wordpress blog. Right now I am sending a JSON request and getting all of the posts, this is working properly ) Once I have that I am creating a post object for each post.
I can properly display the title, image, etc. However when I try to display the content of the post using post.content.rendered ( i take the first 250 characters for a preview ) It is showing the actual html in the output for example instead of printing "Hello World" it is printing
<p>Hello World</p>
I am getting the json response successfully from: /wp-json/wp/v2/posts and i am returning the post info in the code below.
return (
<article className="post-outer" id={post.id}>
<section className="post-section">
<a className="post-link">
<div className="post-box" >
<h1 className="post-title">
{post.title.rendered}
</h1>
<p className="post-desc">
{post.content.rendered.substring(0,250)}
</p>
</div>
<figure className="media-wrapper"><img src={ this.state.media } /></figure>
</a>
</section>
</article>
