Why is wordpress removing my linebreaks?

  • I see several posts on how to remove extra space, but my issue is that I’m creating paragraphs breaks in posts which are summarily (and inexplicably) removed upon my saving the draft. And the more infuriating thing is that it doesn’t happen consistently–and yet persistently of late

    I’m no html-coder, so I’m not able to see in “text” display what code has been either accidentally inserted or omitted to have this phenomenon occur.

    any ideas?

    many thanks

  • How are you creating paragraph breaks?

    • flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches.
    • deactivating all plugins (yes, all) to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s). If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin (read ”How to deactivate all plugins when you can’t log in to wp-admin” if you need help). Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder. The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old
    • switching to the Twenty Fourteen theme to rule out any theme-specific problems. If you can’t log in to change themes, you can remove the theme folders via FTP so the only one is twentyfourteen. That will force your site to use it.
    • manually upgrading. When all else fails, download a fresh copy of the latest.zip file (top right on this page) to your computer, and use that to copy up. You may need to delete the wp-admin and wp-includes folders on your server. Read the Manual Update directions first.
