How Do You Insert Line Space In Wordpress Posts?

Lately, Wordpress hasn't allowed me to add line space in posts.

SO if I want to double space between paragraphs, it won't.

Is there particular Wordpress-specific code or something to adjust??

I don't know why that happens. I have the same problem on some sites and not others. It may have something to do with how something is or isn't defined in the CSS for the template.

What I do about it is use the HTML characters for a non-breaking space on the line where I want the blank space. It is the following, exactly as it appears:

 

So between lines you'd have.....

line 1 goes here
 
and another line of text here

and on the page it would produce

line 1 goes here

and another line of text here

Thanks, bunches, Linda!

As always, you're the best.

Dan, I use <br></br> I thought it was Linda who turned me on to this. It seems to work on all three of my wordpress sites.

I don't have this issue but I would try holding down Shift while pressing Enter. Do that twice for double space. Maybe that would force it?

I highly recommend you use css to add space between paragraphs. In your style.css file, look for code that looks like this:

#content p {
line-height:18px;
margin:0;
padding:0 0 10px;

The third number after "padding" controls the space after a paragraph. For more space, make the number larger.

Hope that helps, Dan!
