Suddenly paragraph breaks dissappeared!

  • All was working like charm until this morning when I realized that paragraph breaks in all pages disappeared! All text appears on one line and looks really bad. Example: https://nwobhm.com/badge/

    Tried the following with no luck:
    1) Delete cache, tried different browsers
    2) Switched themes, the same looks in Twenty Eleven
    3) Deactivate/Activate plugins (even deleted some) – still the same
    4) Followed the advice on this post to add the following to my css 

    p {
padding-top:1.0em;
padding-bottom:1.0em;
}

    5) added the above lines with a custom css plugin
    6) Followed this solution – still no luck

    On the pages editor I see everything as they should be. They just don’t display right. I think I am getting desperate for some help….

  • Hello cultoftheshadow,

    I took a look at your page using the Chrome Inspect option. Generally, you can make non-destructive edits in HTML using Inspect. This allows you to see how it can affect the formatting. However, your sections of text, like for the Line up, are all in quotation marks and cannot be edited in HTML. How are you adding that text? It’s odd, because just like you’re saying, the formatting is showing up in the editor, but not on the page. WordPress is probably trying to format per the CSS and HTML that are set for the post, but in this case the block of text is not accepting any changes. Are you pasting this block of text in from another location or are you using a different editor in WordPress? I think that the formatting issue is related to how that text is being put into the post/page. If you’re pasting it, try adding it manually and you will probably see the formatting issue go away. If it’s still a problem, please post the TEXT editor view of that section of text.

    I hope that helps! Sorry for the problem with your paragraph formatting – looks like a lot of great nostalgia/history. ??

    Arnel C.

    Hello Arnel,
    thanks for your answer… I am pasting the texts from .txt documents. This is how I add content to the pages. I write it first on a .txt document and then I paste them. Here is how the TEXT editor looks on that specific page

    The thing is that up until yesterday everything was showing just fine
    it would be a HUGE time problem to manually change all pages on this site….

    Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but you could try the following:

    .art-postcontent {
     white-space: pre-line;
}

    Another option would be to modify your template to wrap <pre> </pre> tags around your post content. This should respect newlines when the content is displayed.

    I am not sure what it is exactly but this

    .art-postcontent {
     white-space: pre-line;
}

    fixed it!! Added to the custom css plugin and zzzzaaap! Everything is back to normal again!
    Major headache went away!

    I owe you a drink aah08b !!

    some headache came back lol!

    it appears that your fix conflicts with this plugin GT Tabs
    I am only using it on one page so far: https://nwobhm.com/angel-witch/ and tabs within the page are not displaying

    I am having the same problem! I updated wordpress yesterday, and suddenly all the paragraph breaks in my posts disappeared. I don’t paste text; I write directly into the post and then publish it. I don’t do anything fancy with the coding, so I can’t imagine I inadvertently messed something up.
    Here’s my blog: https://www.dentsadventure.com
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Sharon
