HELP! How do I get spaces between paragraphs on my blog posts?!?!?!?

    I am at my wits end here. No matter what I do, my blog is showing up as one loooooong single paragraph. I tried using html code, tried simply spacing, nothing works. How the hell do I get a paragraph break in here?!?!? I am using Baskerville 2 as the theme. I will happily switch to another theme and/or even pay for one if it allows me to write properly, without my blogs looking like they were written by a five year old who doesn’t know when to break a paragraph. (By the way, on our ‘about’ page, no problems. Perfect paragraphs. Just the blog.) Help?

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

    Howdy letsdrinkthedonaldaway!
    I just noticed one blog, the Visual Editor usually allows you to format your text comfortably, you can look into the guide for your reference, simple spacing does work, you can preview it, if your still facing issues try these Advanced HTML techniques, you can look into the Performated Text and line breaks to see if they can help you.
    Let us know how it goes, would be happy to assist you further..!

    Hi @letsdrinkthedonaldaway
    Part of what @pavanraheja posted…

    There are two ways by which you can do this:
    THE WAY THAT WILL TAKE LONG TIME:(but it’s free)
    You can reduce the spacing by using inline CSS while editing the page/post. Just switch to the HTML tab on the page editor and then reduce the paragraph spacing manually for each paragraphs using inline CSS like this:
    <p style="margin-bottom: 10px">Customers can delight in sampling the very freshest of seafood and can get valued culinary advice from our experienced shop staff who have a depth of seafood knowledge.</p>

    THE EASY WAY THAT WILL TAKE LESS TIME:(but it’s not free)
    You can use the CSS Edtior to reduce the spacing between paragraphs by adding this custom CSS code: 

    p {
    margin: 0 0 0.8em 0;
}

    NOTE: Editing CSS is a part of the Premium and Business WordPress.com plans. Read more about these plans here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

    If you are already on any one of the plans mentioned above, then ignore the note.

    Hope this helps 🙂
