-
Hi!
I’m just wonewring why the new form for writing a post on wordpress doest not understan paragraphing?I’ve written the post, I paste it into a new post and press publish – and the text is automatically transformed into one single paragraph and no paragraphing I’ve made so it’s easier to read my post exist.
Just want to know why.
I’ve started to use the old form again, it works for me and doesn’t act up.And one more question, I’m not so happy of the colour chosen for the new form for new post due to my eyesight.
Can I change the colours?
I really frefer the old forms colour, they are for me easier to see.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I don’t use the “new” Beep Beep Doom editor. Never.
If you want to use the classic/old editor, go to
a) to add a new post
https://maukonen.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.phpb) to edit a post
https://maukonen.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php
and hover the title of the post and click on editFor paragraphs and formatting text, see here:

If you use the classic editor here Dashboard > Posts > Add New to create your posts what I provide below may be helpful.
In the classic editor, 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 Text or HTML editor, a single click of ENTER will give you a single-spaced line, and two clicks of ENTER will result in double spaced lines.
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/advanced-html/
If you are copying and pasting from a word processing document like Microsoft WORD note that the paste as WORD button was removed from the editor months ago. If you use the Paste as plain text button then a special cleanup process will run to remove any special formatting and HTML tags that may otherwise change your text. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text Therefore you have to do you own formatting and spacing.
Whether or not you are copying and pasting go to > Dashboard > Settings > Writing and enable this setting:
Formatting
__ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
“save changes”IMPORTANT NOTE: 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.
Also note raincoaster’s editing tip:
When you fix the spacing, you have to start at the top and work down. If you start at the bottom and work up, it always double spaces at least one line.
