Hi - has anyone else experienced a problem with Word Press where it ignores line breaks?

I am running into this issue on one of my sites and can't determine why.

The site I am seeing this on is Real Estate Success Link

Thanks in advance for any tips

P.S. I don't have any editing plugins installed

    Try pasting it in html mode instead wysiwyg, then flip to wysiwyg to add links or whatever.

    check the style sheet and the css code. You could have a conflict with your html.

    I checked your css, you have a few places where youre setting margin:0 and padding:0 on your <p> tags

    Which is actually good practice, but wordpress uses p tags for line breaks.

    So find all the places you're zeroing margins and padding on your p tags and you'll be fine! The p tags are all properly inserted on your blog front page, you're just not rendering the margins

    Get and use Firefox, install Firebug.

    Look at your source code, you'll find that <p> tags have no styling at all.

    This is an issue with your theme, not with WordPress.

    If all you want is some separation between paragraphs, enter this into your stylesheet:

    .entry p {margin-bottom: 5px;}

    Save and check your site; increase/decrease the 5 according to taste.

    Hold the shift key down when hitting the enter key in your WP posts... this will fix it...
