” tag. As a result, I’m getting line breaks all over the place where I don’t want them. * I was just doing a cut and paste from my original file. Is there a preferred method of bringing code in that might obviate this problem? And…is there a way of dealing with this problem automatically, or do I need to just bite the bullet and fix it by hand? * Thanks. * Oh: an example of what’s happenening can be seen at: * [http://www.scopedin.com/wordpress/?page_id=22](http://www.scopedin.com/wordpress/?page_id=22) Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/migrating-html-into-wp-issue/#post-653344) * _I was just doing a cut and paste from my original file._ * Into what? Directly to the DB? Or into the wysiwyg editor? Or into the plain html editor? * Next Q: where are you copying from? The source code of the html file or the output… or something else? * Thread Starter [mzimmers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mzimmers/) * (@mzimmers) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/migrating-html-into-wp-issue/#post-653350) * 1. I was using the Write Pages facility and pasting the code into the Page Content box. I wasn’t aware there was a WYSIWYG editor. * 2. I was copying from my .html file, edited by DW CS3. * Thanks. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/migrating-html-into-wp-issue/#post-653354) * 1. Good that you don’t know about wysiwyg… it should be hidden from everybody 😉 * 2. Maybe it keeps the “formatting” from the source code, i.e. line breaks. When you paste something into WP’s Write text input area, if there is one line break in it – WP will insert a br; if there are two line break – WP will insert a p( paragraph). * When you are writing posts/Pages – it is convenient, however, when transferring from other sources you need to make sure that the breaks (wrap) are not transfered. * Thread Starter [mzimmers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mzimmers/) * (@mzimmers) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/migrating-html-into-wp-issue/#post-653361) * 2. Hmm…well, that’s not the answer I was hoping for, but…such is life. It doesn’t look like DW has an option to disable the paragraphs, so I guess I’ll be doing this by hand. * Thanks for the information, though…I’ll mark this resolved.
