Can’t Create Line Breaks ARGH!!

  • I haven’t been able to create line breaks in my paragraphs in ANY of the themes I’ve uploaded.

    Completely aggravating because I’ve read everything word press has on it and none of it helps my problem. Everything is one big massive paragraph and when I create bullet points they end up all the way over to the extreme left hand side of the page and again…look like crap.

    Help! lol.

  • Ok, so I wrote that last comment and when I went back to post another comment it didn’t work, so then I tried this and it worked fine:

    <p style=”align: left”></p>

    That seemed to work because if you just add a
    or <p></p> wordpress deletes those out automaticly.

    All solutions I read here are about adding <p> tags etc. But that’s not why we have a graphical editor. We have tinyMCE. If a blogger, without any knowledge of HTML want to add a piece of text, they start typing in the tinyMCE editor and hit enter at a certain moment. You would expect that WordPrss/tinyMCE adds a closing P and a new opening P tag. But this does not happen. At least, not while editing the page in FireFox. The browser Safari leaves the P tags alone, but FireFox removes them.
    So, solutions above are not working for me.
    Does anybody experience the same problem?
    We’re using WordPress 2.7

    I had this problem for a long time then finally solved it. I described it here:

    https://rubayathasan.com/wordpress/plugin/enabling-line-break-in-wordpress/

    I pasted those last two lines into style.css:

    #main-content p {
    font-family:Arial;
    font-size:14px;
    padding:0;
    margin-top: 1em;
    margin-bottom: 1em;
    }

    Did the trick for me.

    Hi guys. Here is the thing I have learned.
    is a id tag like any other <p><h1> and wordpress puts them into your code automatically when you insert a line break.

    So this is a CSS issue. Here is an example of one of my stylesheets entries to resolve this:

    br {
    font-size: 28px;
    margin-top: 15px;
    margin-bottom: 15px;
    }

    Works like a freaking charm. ??
