Ok and thank you so much! Any idea why just using the return key won’t work any more?? ??

Hey Krembo! :_) The problem is definitely lack of space… hit the return key and nothing happens. I’d like my photos to have some breathing room, but the return key does nothing! The photos are stacked together with no space. I have no CSS skills at all. Is what you’re suggesting increasing the margin-top?

Hi Krembo, thank you so much! And thank you so much for the critique! My current post (posted a week ago) turned out just fine. Yesterday, I edited it and added some more space between the paragraphs, hit “update post” and now, all of the spaces have disappeared. The current post is reflective of how all my drafts look now. Thanks so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it and am still trying to figure out how to fix this! ??

P.S. I am using WordPress to do everything, including writing the post.

Thanks, Iridiax. I haven’t switched between editors before, and I had hoped by reloading the theme the code would be fixed. No such luck. So, you’re saying the P tags are what is making me not have any spacing between paragraphs? What should a good P tag look like? ?? Just trying to figure out how to fix this mess… I honestly don’t want to blog until I can get some spacing! ??

Hi Alism, I just upgraded to 2.8.4, deleted the Journalist theme, reloaded it, and still have no spacing between paragraphs! Any help would be great!

Hi Iridiax, thanks! I upgraded to 2.8.1, deleted the Journalist theme, reloaded and activated it. Still have problems! Any way to fix the P tags you mentioned? Thanks!

Hey Matt, now my latest post has no spaces. Any ideas?

Krembo, I am having the same problem with the Journalist theme! Started today… any new post does not include any spacing between paragraphs, no matter how many times I hit the Return key…:-( Would love some of your expertise as well! https://www.CusicPhotoBlog.com

I know… I’ve started three drafts. All with the same issue when I hit “save draft” or “preview post.”

Hi Matt, my site is https://www.CusicPhotoBlog.com and it currently shows what it is supposed to look like (with paragraph indents). My new post (draft) doesn’t save any paragraph indents. I’m sorry… where do I find the index.php?

Hi Matt, I copied and pasted the style.css… I hope this helps!!

Matt,

I checked and my css is identical to what you have. I made a new post, added photos with plenty of indents, hit save draft and all the indents disappear. ??
