Let us force a line break

     I had to set up several templates and just play around with return, (shift) return, return, (shift) return. NBA

     I use this:

     <br class="blank" />

     Works like a charm on all my blogs.

     Anyone tried Tiny MCE or other replacements?

     Thank you, grizzdesign. Finally, a simple fix.

     I use TinyMCE + the TinyMCE Advanced plugin (which also gives you good table options).

     In the options setup for TinyMCE Advanced, there's a checkbox for "Stop removing the p and br tags..." which does exactly what it says. Works for me.

     I had to edit formatting.php in order to keep wpautop() from removing my deliberate breaks. I commented out the following line which replaces two occurrences of BR separated only by whitespace with two newlines:

     //$pee = preg_replace('|<br />\s*<br />|', "\n\n", $pee);

     Then, I commented out this line found towards the end of the function and replaced it with a version that exempts BRs from being removed:

     Commented out:
     //$pee = preg_replace('!<br />(\s*</?(?:p|li|div|dl|dd|dt|th|pre|td|ul|ol)[^>]*>)!', '$1', $pee);

     Replaced with:
     $pee = preg_replace('!(\s*</?(?:p|li|div|dl|dd|dt|th|pre|td|ul|ol)[^>]*>)!', '$1', $pee);

     This keeps wordpress from stripping the breaks, but it does not keep Tiny MCE from doing it if you go to visual mode. I peeked into the tiny MCE javascript and didn't like what I found--no comments, not even linebreaks in the code. I won't be editting that, I'll try the tinyMCE Advanced plugin recommended by shoregirl.

     extremely annoying, I agree, and I thank adamsmith for the solution provided.

     Several other editor plugins exist already. And adding vertical space by hitting enter a bunch of times is the wrong way to do it.

     Suggest closing.
