Title: How to Split Single Text into Multiple Lines Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # How to Split Single Text into Multiple Lines * [SJS719](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sjs719/) * (@sjs719) * [10 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-split-single-text-into-multiple-lines/) * Hey guys, * I am designing a business directory site like YP and I am trying to display a business’s address on multiple lines within the business’s “listing” page. I am displaying the address using the function which works great to display the business address within the post, but it displays the address on 1 line and I need it on multiple lines. * Currently Displayed as: 2555 Grandview Rd., Colorado Springs, CO 80910, USA * To be displayed as: 2555 Grandview Rd Colorado Springs, CO 80910, USA * I would also like to be able to add another line if the address has a Suite or Room # such as: 2555 Grandview Rd. Suite #10 Colorado Springs, CO 80910, USA * Any ideas?

Here is the link: [https://www.appthemes.com/themes/vantage/](https://www.appthemes.com/themes/vantage/) * [catacaustic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catacaustic/) * (@catacaustic) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-split-single-text-into-multiple-lines/#post-6163457) * I’m sorry, but we can’t help with [commerical themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products). We don’t know the code, and we don’t have access to anything to see how it works. * Your best option is ot ask the themes authro or vendor for support. They have the code and they can see how to integrate this request correctly. * Thread Starter [SJS719](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sjs719/) * (@sjs719) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-split-single-text-into-multiple-lines/#post-6163494) * Oh okay, well thanks anyways catacaustic!
