[resolved] Spacing Problem Won't Go Away! (9 posts)

    My WordPress blog is located here:

    http://natural-bodybuilding-info.com/

    Problem:

    The spacing for this theme seems to be off and I can't figure out why. No matter how many returns I put in after a sentence, the next line is directly under it. Making stories and posts hard to read.

    If I go back to a default theme, the story is just fine.

    check out the stylesheet...

    look for something like

    p {
    color: #000;
    font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    line-height: ??;
    padding: ??;
    }

    remove the "line-height:" line if it's there.

    if there's no padding line, try adding
    padding-bottom: 10px;

    I found a 1.5em line-height reference.. twice.

    Removed them from the style sheet.

    Several various padding entries.

    Looks the same to me unless the firewall is caching something.

    Regardless, thanks for the super fast post!

    FYI... I did of course contact the original template designer.

    I also checked the comments section of the two main sites (developers, and some theme sites) for anything related to this.

    I figured, I can't be the only person that sees a problem with a giant single spaced text blog.

    But apparently I am?

    I've installed the Internet Market theme for several cvlients without experiencing the problem you're having.
    Try turning off the wysiwyg editor and try your posts - 2 carriage returns for <p> and one for<br />.
    Otherwise - maybe a plugin conflict?

    Same thing.

    I am using a few plug-ins.

    Google Sitemaps
    SimpleTags
    Spam Karma 2
    WP-ContactForm

    If I use any other default or downloaded themes, I don't seem to have any issues. I'm also not seeing any errors on the page or when I publish and post.

    okay, in viewing your css, i found the following:

    p { margin: 0 0 0px 0; }

    change this to

    p {
    margin: 0;
    padding-bottom: 10px;
    }

    I believe I just changed that...

    Didn't notice any differences yet.

    Eureka!

    If I use EditPad Pro... it will properly use the <br> style tages.

    When I was just typing or pasting words into the form, it was inserting formats.

    Using EditPad Pro it properly inserted actual line breaks.

    Looks good now.
