WordPress ignores <p> tag and enter button

I’ve noticed that too…whenever that happens to me I’ll just copy/paste the text into notepad, format it, then copy/paste back to wordpress…

That works for me, even though I’m sure there’s a much simpler solution.

That’s always been an issue with WordPress. It has something to do with the choice of WYSIWYG and the text format filters.

Before WordPress resolves that, the only other work around I found is manually inserting the < br /> tag to force a line break.

I found if you switch to the regular view, not html view and use enter, then type and tab back to hmtl you’ll have the space there you wanted in place of the <p> . It’s not clean, but it works.

I believe there are some plugins to prevent WordPress from “correcting” your HTML. You might take a look through the Extend page on this site to see if anything works for you.

This is how the
tag should look like:

<br clear=”none” />

it works!
