I’m having serious formatting issues the last few days. Is anyone else having this problem? Never had trouble before!

Hi angelaprycemuse,
What sort of formatting issues are you having on angelaprycethemuse.wordpress.com?
If you let me know, I can take a look at your site.

Hi! Thanks for responding. I tried to respond via email but it won’t go through.
The paragraphs keep going wonky. They look fine on the drafting screen, then when I post the article, my paragraph formatting disappears. I usually write in block style, double space between paragraphs, no indent. It published with no space between paragraphs. So I put indents at the beginning of paragraphs to help the reader.
There are spaces between a few of the paragraphs now, and I can’t get rid of them. So the end product isn’t uniform. The spaces are where a picture had been inserted and then removed.

Hi there, instead of seeing your paragraphs in paragraph html tags, I’m seeing them in div tags, which is what the issue is.
Do you by chance write in another program and then copy and paste into the WordPress editor? The reason I ask is that I’m seeing some CSS classes defined in the divs in the post.
I offer the following to fix this.
1. Open one of the posts in the editor, select all the content in the post and then on the style drop-down just to the right of the Add Media button, select Paragraph. Then update your posts and all should be good.
If you write in another program, use the Paste as Text button on the second row of editor tools and it will strip out any errant code that might cause issues.

Holy crow, you’re right! I almost always just write onto the Editor but this time I had most of this on FB and copied it over.
Okay, I will do as you advise. Thank you so much!
