    ok, i just installed wordpress 2 and it was sooo confusing to me at first but i think i'm getting the hang of it.

    one thing i've noticed that i don't really like is how when i write a post, wordpress automatically formats it with . i don't really like using those tags and when i go to type out 'pages' for my site, the formatting messes me up!

    i was wondering if it's possible to change that formatting to make it auto format with just <br>'s instead of <p>'s?
    anyone help?

    thanks so much!

    Try using Ctrl+Enter instead of Enter - if we are talking about that ugly RTE (wysiwyg).

    agk, that doesn't work.

    i don't mind the 's much for just plain posts... but when i'm typing my pages out it's messing up how i want them to look.
    i tried installing the execphp plugin and just using a php include to a page on my server, but then after i submitted it i noticed wordpress automatically put the php include tag in between tags so i got a big space above the page that i wanted to php include...

    i want to make it so that wordpress doesn't use those tags automatically like that... just plain <br>'s or nothing at all.

    it's frustrating. lol.

    If you are putting your own code in the content - NEVER use the wysiwyg/html/RTE editor. If you put code into any wysiwyg editor, don't complain :)

    Well, in my books it says: if you are using a tool (=WP) learn about it.

    In the blog's CP, go to the "Users" tab at top, click it and then scroll down to this: Personal Options
    Is there a check-mark in the box for this? Use the visual rich editor when writing

    If so, I think un-checking it would help ya..correct me if I'm wrong moshu.. =)
