Cant add new paragraphs to pages

    I’ve installed the latest version (yesterday) and have created several PAGES (not posts)
    I’ve switched off the fancy page editor.

    The problem is all my page content is running as one paragraph, I cannot get a line space between blocks of text. Here is what I have done:

    added < br / > – no luck, they get stripped out.
    added < p > < / p > – no luck, they do not get stripped, but get ignored.
    Also just hit enter a few times between lines, this also gets stripped out or ignored.

    I’ve checked the CSS and can’t se anything that might effect this.

    Any ideas?

    Ok, so I see another post about this.

    The solution seems to be to add:
     < br /> (non-breaking space follow by break)

    It’s going to be a real pain adding this everytime I want a paragraph – anyone know if thiere is a better way around this?

    If you switch off the fancy text editor, you will be editting the raw HTML.

    There is no better way around this, that is the way HTML works. It treats text as unformatted information, and you have to add tags like < p > and < br > to add formatting.

    If you don’t want to manually add format:
    – use the Visual Editor you turned off
    – download an HTML editting application and then cut-n-paste the code into the web page. This is probably the best bet, but I can’t give a recommendation on software to use because I just use the Visual Editor.
