FOUND A WAY AROUND THE PARAGRAPH LINE BREAK PROBLEM!!

I copied the text out of Word document. Then I opened a new (empty) Google document, pasted the Word text into the document text area. No line breaks BUT
when I go in and manually add line breaks for paragraphs– they stay in place.

Select All
Copy
Paste into WYSIWIG Word Clipboard
Click Insert

It works.
Save the page and the line breaks remain.

Tried the same technique in POST without using the WYSIWIG Word Clipboard and the line breaks remain in place!!

Party at my house! Hope this works for other people. Please post here if it works or if it is fubarred. We need to solve this problem some way or another.

I’ve been all over this forum for days and there is no fix. Every possible solution has been initiated to no avail.

So, get this ya’ll– the following fixes do not work. They do not solve the no paragraph or line breaks in WP:
Disabling plug-ins does not work.
Disabling WYSIWIG does not work.
Default WordPress theme does not work.
Using Safari, Opera, Firefox, IE6-7 does not fix it.
Validating website and CSS does not fix it.
Adding p {
margin: 0;
padding: 5;
margin-top: 5px;
} to CSS does not fix it.
Adding tinyMCE fix: editor_plugin_script.js from sourceforge does not fix it.

Am I missing any other suggestions offered here that don’t work?

Googling “no paragraph breaks in wordpress” does not offer a fix that works.

The lesson is: If your WordPress blog inserts paragraph breaks, do not upgrade, update, change themes or fiddle in any way, with your blog.

Why isn’t anyone able to fix this? I’ve searched all through the forum for days, tried everything, even inserting
p {
margin: 0;
padding: 5;
margin-top: 5px;
}
into stylesheet, and also grabbing a fix — editor_plugin_script.js from sourceforge and entering it into WP code everywhere I can find a mention of tinyMCE in folders. I am not a geek but I am familiar with CSS and necessary “stuff” for WordPress.

It is just unbelievable to me that we all keep posting and posting about this problem and there is no fix. I’ve tried numerous themes, I’ve disabled plug ins, I’ve done every fix mentioned in all the forum posts. I am about 48 hours away from leaving WordPress (after being a loyal user since WP’s inception).

I use Firefox, iMac (but have tried Safari and Opera). Have used IE6 and 7 and Windows XP.

I have lost too many hours of my life trying to fix this stupid problem.

Somebody please help us.

4 months later and we’re still having this problem. Anyone have any clue as to why? I use Firefox, on an iMac, WordPress 2.1-2.5 in use on my computer.

Ditto. Would someone please tell me why my widget page has this:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare register_sidebars() (previously declared in /home/content/d/e/a/deadmule54/html/wp-includes/widgets.php:13) in /home/content/d/e/a/deadmule54/html/wp-content/plugins/widgets.php on line 22

It’s been that way since before 2.5.1 upgrade.

Thanks for any and all help on this.
