  When I enter or edit the info on one of my pages (registration), the appearance and spacing between paragraphs is the way I want it, but when i view the changes on the page as it appears to others, the spacings disappear. Please advise.

  Hi there, how are you attempting to add extra space between paragraphs? The Visual Editor strips out empty or unnecessary tags, so if you’re attempting to use blank lines to create extra space, for example, that’s not a reliable method.

  A better way to add extra space would be with some CSS code. Here’s an example:

  <p style="margin-bottom: 20px;">A paragraph with some space below it.</p>

  If this is a style you’ll want to repeat, you could also create a CSS class for this paragraph style, and add it to your custom CSS. For example:

  <p class="morespace">A paragraph with some space below it.</p>

  Then under Customize > CSS, you would add this:

  .morespace {
      margin-bottom: 20px;
  }

  Either method should work.

  Just let me know if you have any questions or need further help.
