[resolved] No Lines and paragraphs during posting (15 posts)

    Hello, I have a wordpress here : http://www.skeptikon.com but I have a serious problem when I post.

    When I publish stuff, all lines and paragraphs are USUALLY omitted by the wordpress, so the text is automatically transformed to a bulk thing, not easily readable.

    Do you know what causes the removal of lines and paragraphs and how I can resolve it ?

    Are you using Safari and the visual editor when you create posts? If so, change your browser and see if it's still a problem. It used to be an issue similar to what you're describing.

    No, Firefox and tried internet explorer. That's why I wondered if it's a problem of the theme.

    Hi there,

    That's my problem too. I'm trying with both posts and pages and can't see any way to have the text divided into paragraphs.

    Is it supposed to be done by entering code (like '<p>' or '<br>') or there is a button I haven't noticed? Anyway it seems impossible for me (with Firefox)

    I'm looking forward to any advice. Thanks in advance!

    Marcin

    feanorv,

    As long as you have this in your stylesheet:

    p {
    	padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;
    	margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;
    }

    what else do you expect? Delete that idiotic code...

    And mine too.

    WP 2.3.1
    Cutline 3-Column Split 1.1 by Chris Pearson

    Using Safari, all posts edited have all line breaks stripped so it's one block of text.
    Using Firefox, line breaks are recognized as paragraph breaks.

    I've been trying to find out what is the actor here.

    Is it the Theme? It doesn't look that way as many forum posts talk about the_content but the theme is using it as noted.

    Is there something in the WP php pages?

    If there is a place in the documentation that addresses this, some direction to it would be helpful.

    Thanks.

    I forgot to add that my site is http://www.zielvis.com .

    I still cannot find any way to have text divided into paragraphs (see my Main page for an example). From what I see in other posts, when typing text in "edit" or "write" page in visual mode hitting "enter" should be interpreted as a break, right? It is not in my case (FireFox browser)

    I hope there is some simple solution and somebody will be so kind to point it to us. Thanks in advance!

    zielvis,
    and you also "forgot" to read the solution offered.

    moshu, thanks for the update. I'm not really good with codes so I missed to see this one. Truly idiotic, you're right. Can't believe someone who created such a theme, could do something like that.

    Yes, in fact I ignored Your advice for feanorv, moshu. I didn't expect it to be working with my template too. Thanks anyway and sorry for too many questions!

    I'm sorry if I'm just totally missing it, but I can't find this code anywhere in the Stylesheet (I'm in the "theme editor" under the "presentation" tab, looking at Stylesheet.CSS.. is this correct?) Below is the code that seems to pertain to p, but I'm not totally sure on this - I'm a little behind in my CSS knowledge :)

    Or am I supposed to find this in code from a file located on the server and I need to access via FTP?

    Thanks for your help! These no-paragraph breaks in my posts are driving me crazy!!

    oops. forgot the code I could see in Stylesheet.CSS

    ...

    /*---:[ global elements ]:---*/

    a { color: #339900; text-decoration: none; }

    a:visited { color: #339900; text-decoration: none; }

    a:hover { color: #339900; text-decoration: underline; }

    a img { border: none; }

    blockquote { font-style: italic; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #555; margin: 0 30px 1.5em 30px; padding: 0 0 0 10px; border-left: 1px solid #aaa; }

    abbr, acronym { border-bottom: 1px dotted #aaa; text-transform: uppercase; cursor: help; }

    code { color: #090; font-family: Courier, monospace; }

    pre { margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; overflow: auto; font-size: 1.3em; clear: both; }

    p.center { text-align: center !important; }

    p.bottom { margin: 0 !important; }

    p.unstyled { font-size: 1.4em; }

    .flickr_blue { color: #007ae4; text-transform: lowercase; }

    .flickr_pink { color: #ff2a96; text-transform: lowercase; }

    .green { color: #090; }

    .red { color: #f00; }

    .orange { color: #f40; }

    .purple { color: #909; }

    ...

    and I'm using Cutline 3-Column Split 1.1 using Safari and Firefox on OSX.

    Thanks for any help!!

    okay, nevermind. After reading a few other forums, I tried Firefox instead and it's working beautifully. Seems to be an issue when using it with Safari. When will I ever learn?

    When using Safari, the only workaround I found is to compose the post in "Code" and enter 10 (YES TEN!) returns at the end of every paragraph. This translates into a double space after the paragraphs when saved.
