Internet Job Theme — One little problem…

  • Hey, guys. A new theme has just come out that I really love. It’s called Internet Jobs, and you can find it here:

    https://themes.wordpress.net/?view_type=slideshow&item_type=latest&page_number=3&count_per_page=12

    My only problem with it is that it doesn’t automatically skip a line when you hit the “enter” keystroke when you’re putting in your post. I.e. When you hit “publish”, the post has no space between paragraphs! You have to manually enter “br” to make it do that — WITH EVERY POST and in-between every paragraph you want separated or it’ll never give you a space!

    Question: is there a way to make the theme recognize the “enter” keystroke as putting in an automatic “br”? Every single theme I’ve seen does this, but apparently, not this one! It’s still pretty new, so I’m guessing the author will work on it. I’ve posted a question at the theme author’s site, but I’m not sure if he/she bothers to read those, as I haven’t seen a response for any of the other comments. So hopefully you guys can tell me where to plug in the additional code or what not to get this to work.

    TIA

  • I heavily suspect this is because of the following, in the theme’s style sheet:

    p {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    }

    Basically, the paragraph tag (ie “<p></p>“) explicitly sets no margin or padding.

    You should be able to edit the theme’s stylesheet, using the ‘Theme Editor’ under the ‘Presentation’ tab in your admin panel.

    You’ll need to experiment a little, but a starting place would be something like editing the above to:

    p {
    margin: 0 0 10px 0;
    padding: 0;
    }

    This would provide a bottom margin to your paragraph tags of 10px. Again, play around with different values to see what you like best.

    Note: if you’re not familiar with shorthand syntax in setting size properties for margin and padding in CSS, when you supply one value (ie ‘margin: 0;’), it applies to all 4 possible margins, being top margin, right margin, bottom margin, left margin (and the same goes for padding). If you supply 4 values, as I did in my suggestion, they are interpreted in that order: top, right, bottom, left.

    Hope this helps.
