There are no paragraphs. How do I divide into paragraphs?

In the editor, after a paragraph, you hit “enter” and get a new one.

Or, if that’s not working, you can give us a link to your site so we can see the problem as you see it.

I tried using “enter”
no luck

I also tried it in both ‘html’ and ‘view’ mode
no luck

I also tried using
and <p> html tags
no luck

thanks a bunch!

in the post above, I typed “
” and the page actually used it to ‘break’ the paragraph ??

I wish that would work on my page as well ??

shoooot

…br… with brackets around it ??

You’ve only got one paragraph on that page.

Are you using the Visual Editor or the HTML editor?

I tried using both… no luck

actually, if you click on the title of the post, which will take you to the post itself (p=1) there are paragraphs.

it’s got to be some setting on the front page I need to check

weird

anybody?
this is a tuffy for me!

I especially don’t understand it since when you click on the post itself, it will show the paragraphs but when you see the post on the opening page, there are NO paragraphs at all…

weird

What is the code in your theme’s index.php file? Is it using the_content(), or something else?

it is using the_content ()

I realize now it is a template setting which is meant to show small tid-bits of articles on the front page with a link to the actual post…

I don’t want that. I want to place full information on the front page, and I would like to know if there is a way to change this setting.

thanks

WordPress has no such setting. That’s up to the theme to do.

If you’re using the_content(), then you get the full content. But without seeing the actual code, I can’t tell you what it is doing.

Switch to the default theme. Does it work properly there? If so, then the problem is in your theme and you need to fix the theme, somehow. Since I can’t see your theme’s code, I can’t tell you exactly how to do that.

let me try to post the theme code, right there were I made the changes…

it looks something like this…

<!– begin post –>
<div class=”post<?php if ($first) { echo ‘ first’; $first = false; } ?>”>
<h2>“><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

<p><?php ob_start(); the_content(); echo dp_clean_excerpt(ob_get_clean()); ?></p>
</div>
<!– end post –>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<p id=”postnav”>
<?php next_posts_link(‘Older Entries’); ?>  
<?php previous_posts_link(‘Newer Entries’); ?>
</p>

<p><?php ob_start(); the_content(); echo dp_clean_excerpt(ob_get_clean()); ?></p>

Yeah, this is definitely something your theme is doing.

Try this instead. Replace that line I posted with this one:

<?php the_content(); ?>

I got it

thank you for the help!
