  The new paragraph function is not working in our post section. If entered manually into the HTML coding version of the post, it works, but defaults once you flip back to the visual setting.

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

  There’s no “new paragraph function”. The coding in your latest post is wrong because you copypasted the content from another source (such as Word).
  To correct the post you need to delete all of these:
  <div>
  and all of these:
  </div>

  Or (faster) select all in the Visual editor, copy, switch to Text, select all, paste, then enter paragraph breaks the regular way and re-insert the image.

  In the future, never copypaste from other sources directly into the Visual editor: when you paste, use the “Paste from Word” or “Paste as Plain Text” buttons, or paste into the Text editor.

  I did the exact same thing today – copied text from an email and couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t create paragraph breaks. Thank you for this thread, it helped me figure out how to fix it and even better how not to do it again in the future. Thank you!!
