Why indeed! This is driving me crazy! Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
I’ve got the same problem. The paragraph tags do not seem to stick even using multiple carriage returns between paragraphs.
A) What browsers are you guys using?
B) What happend if you try switching over to the Default theme? I’ve noticed an awful lot of themes explicitly removing margin/padding around p tags lately…
I’ve now searched several support forums with this same problem (which I am experiencing also), and no one seems to offer a real solution. Very concerning to me that this must be a major bug, but most of the posts about it have been up for at least a month with no solutions or bug fixes proposed!
HandySolo:
If you’re still watching this thread, The problem occurs in both latest versions of Firefox and Safari running in Mac OS X 10.5 (leopard).
I’m going to try to tinker with the margin and padding in the p tags in my theme’s CSS sheet to see if that make a difference.
If anyone wants to take a look, my site is peterennsonline.com
I think I’ve got the solution:
1) In the WordPress directory, go to wp-includes –> js –> tinymce.
2) Open the file called “tiny_mce.js” in any text editor where you can see lines in the code (like Dreamweaver).
3) Find line number 33. There change the code to this.isSafari = false
4) Try posting again! It should work…
