Your theme may be using <?php the excerpt();?> instead of <?php the_content;?> in its template files. Simply edit the relevant template files and replace <?php the excerpt();?> with <?php the_content;?>.
Thanks esmi for the superfast response.
I barely know anything about coding, could you be a bit more specific?
I should go to every single “php” file that has the word “template” withing my theme and look for <?php the excerpt();?> and change it to <?php the_content;?> ?
Thank you esmi!
It might help if you provided a link to a page demonstrating the problem.
This is the preview link of the post I’m trying to make. It ignores the “enters” I give it between paragraphs. Everytime I hit preview, it just goes back to its Douple-spaced self.

Ok, sorry, the page is not working… let me repost the item because I trashed it.. haha…
You need to post a link to a published Page or Post.
I can’t see anything wrong with that page. All of your paragraphs have quite good margins.
Esmi, thanks for the time for helping me. Here’s the thing:
I’m trying to widen the space between paragraphs, but even though I hit ‘enter’ between paragraphs in post editing, once I publish, it goes back to what you see. 🙁
Is there a way to add more spacing between paragraphs?
I’ve updated the post to illustrate the point better.
Each title has a small graphic underneath it, aligned to the left, and some text beside that picture.
After this, a space is needed for the next title, graphic and text. But watch what happens: http://theskiffler.com/?p=357
No matter how many times I hit ‘enter’ to space out each paragraph, it keeps crunching back, thus overlapping tittles with the picture that it does not correspond to.
I hope this helps illustrate my problem.
Ok, I think it’s formated so that I can ONLY double-space. No matter what I do, even if I add
code several times to widen the spaces, I can’t get it to work. I’ve tried <p> </p> code, too, and it just won’t budge. One space between paragraphs is all it will allow!
What can I do?
You’d need to:
1. Stick to the HTML tab
2. add a custom class to your p or div elements.
3. Amend your theme’s stylesheet to apply larger top & bottom margins on your custom class.
