Line breaks missing on blog page, okay in posts

  • Hey guys, my site at https://www.variousgeekery.com has an issue.

    If I use the visual post editor to write a post, on the front page it has no line breaks between paragraphs, but if I go to the post itself on it’s permalinks, then it looks fine.

    To get the posts to show properly on the front page, I need to switch to the text editor and insert the line break code.

    I’ve left the post “The Hound voice search app looks awesome!” and “Don’t worry about the robot uprising quite yet” as they are so you can see what I mean. Any ideas?

  • Seems like your theme removes the padding-bottom from paragraphs on home and archive pages. In the style.css it has:

    .home .post p, .archive .post p {
    clear: both;
    padding-bottom: 0;
    }

    Okay so what would I need to change on that then to keep it the same as the posts page?

    You could hack the style.css of your theme. Look for the code snippet I posted, and remove the line that says:

    padding-bottom: 0;

    Look for it in wp-content/themes/simple-catch/style.css.

    If the Simple Catch theme gets updated with a newer version however, you would have to do this change again. So normally it is not advised to hack the theme directly but create a childtheme instead. If that is a bit too much, just be sure to remember what changes you made to the theme before updating it when a new version is available.
