<br> or <p> issue (no more spaces between paragraphs)…

    I have a big issue right now in the fact that all of a sudden wordpress is not separating my paragraphs by a line as would be normal, and is not adding <p> tags to paragraphs either (i looked in the code view). i noticed this last week when i tried to get a blockquote to align properly by using a few line breaks ( <br> tags ) and as soon as i put them in and went back to design mode and back to code mode they vanished. i did it again, publishing from code mode, no change. i have no more doublespacing. i reinstalled the theme (CSS and Index) and still nothing.

    the url is https://eydryan.com and nothing i do seems to work… any ideas?

    went back to design mode and back to code mode

    Never do that!
    If you know code – turn off the wysiwyg. It’s that simple. Do NOT switch between visual/code (because all that time the visual IS turned on); just disable it for good.

    I also have this issue with a page.
    I have a movie playing with the tag:

    <embed src=”wp-content/uploads/2008/02/start.swf” height=”220″ width=”340″></embed>

    The I have a sentence after the movie (I preferredthe sentence above the movie, but it got scrambled).
    When I add line breaks <br><br> I don’t actually get line breakes. Also when I go back to view the code they are gone.
    The catch is, I don’t know code for crap (I’m trying hard, but reality says it will be a while..).
    I don’t think turning off the regular view is an option for me.
    Is it possible to get a couple of line breaks between my movie and my sentence?
    Thanks,
    Luke

    well, turning off the preview didn’t help at all. I even rewrote the tags (there were none actually i wrote them), first <p>, then some <BR>, and still nothing…

    the text is one huge block…

    any other ideas?

    You don’t need <p> tags, even in code view. Just use a line break and WordPress automatically converts them. View the source of your page in your browser and see the <p> tags! The problem with the display on your page is CSS-related and, since the theme’s homepage has spaces after each paragraph and you don’t seem to have changed the CSS, I believe the problem is a conflict in the CSS imported by one of your plugins. Disable your plugins and if the line spacing is back, enable your plugins one by one and find out which one is the culprit.

    you’re right kalessin, it was a plugin TagAlley for WP which also created a broken link in Google Webmaster Tools.

    so all works now ??

    thanks all for the help

    I presume you have this in your CSS:
    * { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
    By adding this:

    p {
    margin-bottom: 1em;
}

    You’ll get back the linebreak after ended paragraph. Was looking for the same thing yesterday.
