What plugins do you have installed? I think you might have one installed that adjusts the WordPress editor which this plugin uses.

Ok, i’ll check them out and see what happens.

Ok, i’ve looked at my plugins, and it seems that it’s the TinyMCE Advanced plugin that is involved.

Notice that i said ‘involved’. I don’t think that it’s the problem, as it doesn’t cause any problems with other plugins i have used.

Without any other plugins installed, the HMS Testimonials plugin doesn’t use the paragraph tab, it adds ‘br’ tags in between the paragraphs. This is the wrong way to do paragraphs, they should be styled using the ‘p’ tag, not using the ‘br’ tag.

I cannot style my paragraphs correctly using the ‘br’ tag. Will you ever update the plugin to use the ‘p’ tag correctly?

Ok, so I am replacing new line breaks with br tags. The default settings of wp_editor (the WordPress function that loads TinyMCE on the page) does not wrap content in paragraphs. Now of course it can be overridden by plugins which I am assuming is the case.

I will add in an option this weekend to turn of the break tags.

Ah, now i think i understand where you are coming from.
An option in the plugin settings to turn off ‘br’ tags would be great.
What a great speedy service to make things better ??

It is now built into my development version. I will be doing a bit more testing and will push the update before the end of the weekend.

The option will be #3 on the Testimonials -> Settings page.

Also, it defaults to turned on for backwards compatibility so you will have to go in and uncheck the box.

That’s excellent thanks. Will do the job perfectly. Will look forward to the update. Thanks
