  Hi. I am using the Colinear theme and am unable to control the spacing on my blog posts when they are published. How can I actually format the spacing?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  I see your blog is set to private. But don’t worry, someone from the staff will look into this and help you.

  Meanwhile, can you tell us what do you mean by “control the spacing”? It will help the staff to identify the problem and provide a proper solution :)

  When I write a post I am unable to double space paragraphs. The spacing is set to single. Sometimes I want double space.

  Hi there,

  When you add content to your posts, are you copying and pasting it from somewhere else (for example, a Word document or a website) or are you typing directly into the editor?

  If you can tell me the name of a particular post where you are having the problem, I’ll take a look for you.

  Hi. It’s on every post. I feel the text and pictures are too close to each other. And paragraphs are too close together.

  I type directly into the editor, no copy and pasting.

  Hi,

  I picked your most recent post and had a look in the HTML tab on the editor. This is what I found:

  There are lots of empty HTML tags in your text (highlighted in red boxes). I also noticed your text has <div> tags around it. The presence of these tags is causing the issues you are describing.

  From looking back over your blog, earlier posts such as “Establish a regimen” do not have these empty tags.

  The problem appears to be with newer posts — “Micellar Water: A Lazy Girl’s Best Friend” is the first post where this starts to happen. The empty tags and formatting are present in all posts since.

  Did the way you add or edit your content change around this time?

  Oh….I did copy and paste some text. Sounds like that may be the issue.

  I think so too. When text is copied from somewhere else, some of the formatting can be copied over.

  The editor has a ‘Paste as text’ button, which you can use to strip away this formatting

  That should do the trick :)
