<p></p> and <br /> in posts not working?

  • i searched the support forum and have found nothing(i posted about this in another thread but it was left unresolved)

    basically what’s wrong is that when I’m posting in WordPress whether it be editing an old post or posting a new post; paragraph and break tags in particular won’t work at all if I put them in. So if I put or <p></p> what happens is, when I save it, WordPress deletes them for I don’t know what reason u_u.

    I really want to know how to possibly fix this, because I didn’t have this problem in versions before 2.3. Or if this can’t be fixed, I would like to at least know why WordPress is deleting/not-picking-up/registering <p></p> and (because it’s seriously annoying when I want a paragraph or a break and it won’t go through)

    help would be much appreciated n_n

  • hannaramos’s solution worked for me, I thought it was a theme specific problem.. Quite annoying but a quick easy stylesheet fix. Thanks hannaramos

    hi!!

    I solved this problem with the TinyMCE advanced, go to this thread and you’ll see the solution:

    I was in this hell as well. Turn off the “kitchen sink” then things appear to function normally with
    spacing.

    I’m another person who thinks this is the most annoying thing about my beloved wordpress!
    i’ve had it happen on all sorts of versions of wordpress. on every browser you can imagine.
    ? hannaramos’s fix didn’t work, as i didn’t have that line of code to change
    ? FaithWalks Magazine’s (nice blog BTW) adding a dot after <p>your text yada yada</p>
    .
    still leaves you the problem of a floating dot…
    ? i always used to add white – lines, but i’m worried about google penalizing “hidden” text (thinking it is black hat seo)
    ? i’ve even added all white images in, which is a killer for bandwidth
    ? archweb’s “you have to write in HTML section
    instead of
    or
    ” doesn’t make any sense at all (same thing??)
    so, after all this knowledge, no solution!
    having some white space under your text shouldn’t be such a hard problem, surely!
    less fancy theme previews and some basic
    tags that stick i say!

    I have this issue as well. I’ve read fix after fix, and nothing seems to work. It is a problem in the html and WYSIWYG. No matter what I do, if I want more than one space I have to use the “floating dot” method.

    What I don’t get is why “auto formatting” like this even happens.

    Why does WP get rid of my
    tags when I insert more than one?

    Simple question, it seems like there should be a simple answer.
