paragraph <p> tag not working with text widget
-
I’ve just started with WordPress and I’m using the text widget with The Journalist v1.3 theme. I’m trying to format paragraphs using the HTML tag <p>text here</p> but it is not working. Is this a known issue? Is there a fix?
Thanks in Advance.

I did tick the Automatically add paragraphs box but that did not fix the problem.

Here’s the HTML I am currently using. There is code between some of the <p> tags. I removed the code but it made no difference.

Hmm the <p> brackets should worked with that text format I recommend clearing your browser cache and cookies then restart your browser and see if that fixes the issue for you.

Your text is seprated into paragraphs, but in this theme the widget creates no blank lines between them. Add this between each paragraph and the next:
<div style="height:12px;"></div>
Or change the first two opening p tags to this:
<p style="padding-bottom:12px;"> -
I found that if I put a
tag after the </p> tag that worked. However, I’ve now changed the code to that suggested by panaghiotisadam, somehow I feel that solves the problem more elegantly.Problem solved, thanks for all the help.

Last message should say:
