Line break in Wordpress

[StephenT]

Linda, so far, your suggestion worked best, sort of. When I tried to use the <&nbsp> What showed in my blog was the &nbsp. When I tried just putting in <br></br> it worked great!

Hey - wasn't the <br></br> idea mine (response #2 in this thread)???

As I've been the self-described "coding idiot" for so long, I just gotta know if I got this one right?

PS - but I'm going to try out Wade's MS solution - sounds far easier in the long run for folks like me who struggle with html.

Jeanette, you are so right! You did. Why I didn't see it before was that I was trying <br /> by itself, which works in straight html, at least some times, so I disregarded it. When I did both open and close, it worked like a charm! Credit goes to you!

Also, you can click the html tab in WordPress, put your mouse cursor when you want the link break and just hit enter.

I wonder if it is a theme thing, Traci. I always work in the html editor and I have done that. It show in the editor, but not on the page. Perhaps the theme code overrides it somehow.

Very well could be Stephen. Without looking at the CSS stylesheet to see, it's hard to say. But quite possibly is a theme issue, but most likely something that could be resolved.

Don't put the brackets around it... just use

&nbsp;

And note the semicolon at the end.

Yep, by golly you are right Linda! Now I have two ways of doing this! Wow, from nothing to a plethora! I love it!
