# Acute Comment Problem

 * I recently installed WordPress at [http://jacobmorse.com](http://jacobmorse.com),
   and it has been working wonderfully.
 * However, as of today, my comments have gotten messed up (not sure how and not
   sure how to fix it).
 * All line breaks, or paragraphs (I’m not all that code-savvy) have gone away. 
   When I go to Manage>Comments and click to Edit a comment, all of the formatting
   is correct. The line breaks are there, etc.. Yet, when I view the comments on
   the manage page (or on the post itself), it is all one big paragraph. Any idea
   why this would be?
 * FYI:
    1.) I’m using [Squible](http://www.squible.com) as my theme.
 * 2.) I installed a few plugins, including [Subscribe to Comments](http://txfx.net/search/subscribe%20to%20comments%202).
   I have since uninstalled this, but the problem remains.
 * 3.) I even went so far as to replace Comments.php in my theme folder to no avail.
 * Thanks in advance for the help!

 * I ran Squible for a while and never had this problem. Can you switch to the Default
   theme and see what happens.

 * I don’t think Squible has anything to do with it, honestly. When I go to the 
   Manage>Comments admin page, each comment is just one large paragraph. Yet, when
   I click “edit”, there are paragraph breaks.
 * Interestingly, all other formatting shows up correctly, like bold, italic, etc.
 * I’m confused!

 * Did you change any other files, such as allowed tags? Try restoring the files
   called kses.php and something like “comment-formatting-functions.php” – it’s 
   got formatting in the filename, at any rate.

 * I don’t believe I changed any other files. I installed some plugins and that’s
   it. What do you mean “allowed tags?” I restored kses.php and comment-functions.
   php — still have the problem. This is frustrating!

 * What happened when you changed to the default theme?

 * Same thing happened. The problem is visible **in the admin section**. It looks
   like just one big block of text – no paragraphs. Yet, when I click edit, the 
   paragraphs are there. What gives?

 * Take a look at jacobmorse.com — click on a post and look at the comments. Does
   anyone know what would cause that? There should be a line break between the comment
   permalink and the comment itself, but there isn’t!

 * Pleeease. This problem is really annoying and I’ve tried everything. What could
   be wrong?
