Hi guys

Got this stupid error in a WP install - whenever I write a page/post and I hit the ENTER tab to drop a paragraph... nothing happens and all text gets messed up.

Even the SHIFT command does not work.

Any ideas?

I've found that the html line break command doesn't work in WP, but I'm wondering what happens if in the HTML panel you typed in something like:

 

You might have to use a couple of them, and/or wrap them in a div tag - and you shouldn't HAVE to use html to get the line break, but at least it would give you a workaround.

Wondering if it's a theme issue - anything else you've noticed that's weird?

Hey Kat

The   option works pretty fine.

And this issue it's the only weird thing I can see right now.

I have the same problem. Perhaps the issue can be solved with Dean's FCK editor plugin. Haven't tested it yet though.

I have this "wacked" solution:

Create a ... line, turn it white as the background and voilá.

But this is really strange, don't you think?

It can be to do with the CSS controlling the text. Have a look at the line-height setting.

  That woldn't really affect the paragraphs. Look for
  p {margin: 0;

  Hey Istvan
  
  p {margin:0; padding:0 0 10px 0;}
  
  Isn't this the "default" to keep paragraphs as they should, with a bottom spacing of 10px?
  
  Thanks

Try to switch to the default theme - does the problem persist?

  Hey Mike
  
  The problem is when I try to create a 4 line white space... hitting ENTER, you know, I can't do it.

  It's a pain in the butt....
  
  ... and it works.
  
  Just need to select ALL text, align-left, and now the shift tab works.
  
  Thank YOU!!!!

  That was never possible in WP.
  
  It will always wipe out the "obsolete" blank lines.

You can also drop this bit of code in to force a line break, or multiple line breaks.

 Cheers Tony, got the solution provided by Mike.
 
 This is a website updated by someone else - not me. And that person needs a simple solution to be able to add paragraphs.
 
 But problem solved.
 
 Thanks
