Line Break Problem In WordPress Posts

  • Hello, I have a problem that is driving me nuts. I am using 3.0 and on my earlier versions the line space between paragraphs worked fine either through the visual editor or the HTML version but this one spaces them in the editor but when I publish it the paragraphs are jammed together like a 5 year old did it.

    I have tried using
    tags but no change. You shouldn’t have to do anything other than space it how you want it in the editor for optimal performance and I sure don’t want to have to go back over adding whatever in the HTML to make it look right. HELP!

    If whoever made this change could see how unprofessional it makes the article look when published they would be embarrassed that they were the cause of it.

    I have found that I hate upgrading to newer versions of wordpress for this exact reason. It never works like the old one did.

    Any help here would be appreciated tremendously.

  • You probably just need to change/add 1 line of CSS.

    Got a link to your site (all messed up) and I can tell you what to change.

    I figured out by adding <p> </p> this code p p in between <>that it works to line break the paragraphs but can I add that somewhere in the css?

    This is crazy having to add this code after every paragraph. WordPress is going downhill more with every new version. Is there any way to go backwards from 3.0 back to version 2.8.6? Every time you upgrade WordPress you have to work harder to use it.

    Your theme has no space between paragraphs. I don’t know why some theme designers do this, it just looks bad. Try adding this to your theme’s style.css (adjust the px value until it looks good to you):

    .entry p {
	padding-bottom: 12px;
}

    You’ll also want to get rid of your extra added p tags, some of them are unclosed and they will mess up spacing after the css fix.

    Also, switching back and forth between the visual and html editors will mess up your code (probably how you got unclosed paragraph tags), so only use one editor or the other.

    Thank you so much. The entry code added to the stylesheet fixed the problem. I appreciate your help.
