Help With Theme Breaking and Paragraphs

Can I have a link to your site? I prefer to provide solutions on this forum so that others can benefit. Plus, I use the FireFox Dev Tools to edit the stylesheet and peek at images and layout elements. ??

Thank you.

It looks like it’s selectively adding <p> tags. For example, on the post Registration Turned Off, it’s correctly surrounding your post text with paragraph tags.

In the post below that, where you feature a video, there’s an opening <p> tag, no closing <p/> tag and not enough “air” between the bottom of the video and the Tag section.

I suspect that you normally use the WYSIWYG editor to compose your posts, but that you turned it off to add the video and its post text, correct? That may be why you are having that problem. So for instances where you have to add a video and have the WYSIWYG editor turned off, you’ll have to remember to add those opening and closing <p></p> tags to your post text.

Unless there’s something else that I’m missing.

I just click HTML when I add a video, and it shows up as a flash element in the WYSIWYG Editor. Before WordPress, I used Blogger, and all I had to do was click Enter and it broke for me, and no paragraph tags were added. It was simple and always displayed how I wanted it.

Hmm. Then I’m not sure why it’s doing that. Because I deal in code all day (but probably mostly because I’m a control freak), I don’t use the WYSIWYG editor at all and prefer to put my own p tags in (I’ve actually edited the quicktags.js file to add code that I use there, such as the p tags and some other stuff). I’ll give this some more thought while I wait for dinner to be delivered. (Did I mention that I’m lazy too!?)

Thank you.

Hello. i have had pretty much the same issue aswell. However it appears to be a template related problem with mine as i have run the same tests on 3 different themes and the one theme that i want doesnt insert paragraphs properly.

There must be something wrong with the code. Maybe its in the stylesheet (altho i have analysed that i came back with nothing) or maybe its another file.
