• Why is line spacing so tragically wrong (non standard)?

    Adding a line break adds a big gap between lines among other very odd issues with spacing (very atypical of WordPress).

    Thank you otherwise for a fine plugin – this being the most glaring failure.

    Hello @tvcnet

    Do you have a link to your site so I can check your CSS? Basically when you press enter, a new paragraph is created (the standard WordPress behavior). The gap between two paragraphs should basically not bigger than one line. If its looking different, there could be some problem with some styles from your theme, so it would be nice if you could let me check it. πŸ™‚

    It’s so bad, that in this example I’m actually having to put periods between paragraphs to allow them to be separated. The plugin seems to be stripping line breaks oddly.

    Hello again, @tvcnet

    Can you try to replace the following code (around line ~484) in
    asgaros-forum/skin/style.css

    From:

    #af-wrapper .post-message p {
        margin: 0 0 20px;
    }

    To:

    #af-wrapper .post-message p {
        margin: 0 0 20px;
        padding: 0px; /* comp */
    }

    Does this help?

    Seems to have helped some with line spacing, but the real issue is that line breaks as you see here:

    I found that by changing this style item in yellow from 0 to 10 that it did put spacing between paragraphs:

    That help in your review?

    On second thought, I think your updated CSS is fine.
    I added into my child theme.

    It’s apparent that my copy/pasting the text from another website likewise pulled over some confusing CSS elements causing the text to clump together unexpectedly.

    Fine, I am happy that it seems to work now! πŸ™‚

    I wondered about the CSS around your elements and thought that it maybe was added by your theme. Copy & Paste is a good explanation for this.

    The lack of a raw text edit option may create more tickets for you in future (hint).

    Thank you for the wonderful plugin.

    Hello again, @tvcnet

    basically you can already do something like this when adding the following code to your themes functions.php file:

    function change_editor_settings($settings) {
    	$settings['quicktags'] = true;
    	return $settings;
    }
    add_filter('asgarosforum_filter_editor_settings', 'change_editor_settings');

    In case no one has told you this recently,
    You are awesome!
