Linebreaks are automatically removed
-
Hello all
When I insert linebreaks between two paragraphs to have a wider gap inbetween them, wordpress automatically collapses (removes) them into one single line break upon saving.
As a workaround I’ve started inserting tags such as the following, in white so that they are “invisible”.
<span style="color: #ffffff;">\</span>But I’m guessing there must be a better solution. Perhaps it has to do with the theme I’m using, which is “origin”.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Blog editors and word processors are not the same and do not work the same way. The web standard is one blank line only, so you cannot add more blank lines by pressing return repeatedly like you would do with a typewriter or in a word processing application. If you want to learn how to format and space your posts and pages see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/writing-and-formatting-poetry/
If you are working in the Visual editor, to get single spacing between paragraphs hold the SHIFT key down and simultaneously click ENTER at the end of the paragraph.
If you are working in the HTML (Text) editor, a single click of ENTER will give you a single-spaced line, and two clicks of ENTER will result in double spaced lines.

P.S. When you create a new post, always make sure the Format tool is set to Paragraph before you start typing. It’s in the Visual editor Row 2 first position “style”. See the illustration here http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2 If you forget to do that then edit the post, highlight all in the Visual editor, select Paragraph from the Format tool, switch editor to Text then switch back to Visual and click Update.

Okay, thanks. This I think I can work with.
If you have trouble getting those spaces to stay, you can also use a bit of inline CSS to add extra line breaks. To do this, you’ll want to wrap your paragraph in the following code:
<p style="padding-top:14px;">Your paragraph of text here.</p> -
For future reference and anyone having similar problems, the line of code that I use now for additional space is the following.
<div style="padding-top: 3em;"></div> -
I’m glad to know what I posted helped you. Not all bloggers purchase annually renewable custom design upgrades. You’re welcome.
