WordPress removing extra line breaks

  • I personally would prefer to have additional line breaks in my blog posts in order to space out the content more and make it more readable.

    My installation of wordpress appears to remove any additional line breaks from the posts that i have created in two scenarios:

    1. In quote blocks I can only seem to be able to do one line break. Does anyone know how I add more? Here for example i’d like to have a full blank line between each paragraph but I’m unable to do that https://imgur.com/xQh3iAK

    2. Between post blocks I cannot seem to add additional spacing. Adding in a new blank block or adding additional line breaks at the end of each block doesn’t seem to do it. Does anyone know how I can fix this? https://imgur.com/bkUicfF

    Thanks in advanced

  • In order to influence spacing you need to add some custom CSS. You will need to use your browser’s developer tools to identify the exact class or ids. I can’t help with that since you only provided screenshots.

    Hi Tim,

    The link is https://thehairchronicle.com/ if you’re able to assist any further?

    It’s a tough call. To change your paragraph line spacing I would do something like this:

    .post-entry p { line-height: 2.5; }

    To change the line spacing in the block quotes I would start with this:

    .post-entry blockquote p { line-height: 2.5; margin: 5px; }

    Thank you Tim, i’ll look into that.

    And on the quote blocks, is that normal behaviour that there is no spacing between paragraphs in one single quote block itself?

    For the most part yes. That is how you want a block quote to look. However the CSS of your theme is what ultimately determines the look and feel of your site.
