Line break / new line issue – Unable to insert new line in posts or pages,

  • About a month ago, I installed WP3.0, and i quickly noticed that I was having problems with showing “new lines” or “line breaks” under posts and pages.

    Today I upgraded to 3.0.1, and the issue is still here.

    After some troubleshooting and Google searching I started to wonder if this was related to the stylesheet chages that I’ve made. (text color changes only).

    This is on an internal network, so I can not give any URL.

    I’m using the ani-world theme, https://www.ads-software.com/extend/themes/ani-world

    When I create a new post/page or edit an existing post/page, I can create the extra lines in the editor, but when I save my work the editor “re-formats” my text, and all line-breaks are gone.
    This is the same problem even if I use the HTML editor, and insert:
    tags. But when I use <br class=”none” /> it works.

    When I edit the text again in the standard editor, the br tags written in HTML is removed.

    Anyone who knows about a good solution for this??
    Please advice. ??

    Thanks.

  • I know its not correct mark up and that we should use P tags to wrap around our text.
    But there are times when a client just wants to have a new line without a new paragraph.

    Its easy for me to edit the HTML and do this manually but not for the client.

    WordPress can obviously handle line breaks quite well as it retains the format from text copied in so why can’t we just have a newline button in the editor.?

    It seems like this is an issue that has been going on for years…

    Try pressing SHIFT and ENTER in the Visual Editor.
