  Dear Community

  Since some weeks when I create a new post or edit an existing one and add a paragraph space/break it doesnt work: it doesnt add it

  Its not nice having having a blog with no spaces between paragraphs
  
  @Wordpress. Any plan to fix it?
  
  @Community; any workaround for doing with no html skills?

  Thanks for your help

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

  That’s odd. I just tried and am able to add breaks

  How are you adding paragraph break? You can go to the Text tab available next to Visual tab on the Add New Post and Edit Post screens and add
  wherever you want a line break.

  Hello!

  Couple options to try:
  In the Visual editor, you click enter for a paragraph break and shift-enter for a line break. In the HTML editor, you click return twice for a paragraph break and once for a line break.

  In the text editor you can try using <p> tags

  <p> I AM SENTENCE NUMBER 1 </p>
  <p> I AM SENTENCE NUMBER 2 </p>

  My bad, my update is buggy. Apologies.

  @pcosta88’s suggestion should work.
