Paragraph coding disappears from blog posts

    Suddenly, when I make even a very small change to a blog post (in Visual), ALL the codes for a paragraph break disappear (in Text). Before I publish, I have to go into Text view and insert the code for each paragraph: </p><p>

    I am not a tech/code person, so this is a huge chore, and it has slowed down my blogging considerably, which affects my professional life.

    Worse, my WP tech person can’t figure out what the problem is either.

    I’ve tried disabling all my plugins, but the problem is still there. My blog was working fine, and then, for no reason, suddenly it’s quite broken.

    I’m hoping that there’s a solution!

    This question has been up a week, and no responses. Am I on the wrong thread? This is a serious problem and I need to find a solution.

    A couple of things I notice:
    The “share this” functionality (social icons) is wrapped in <p class=no-break"> so you may want to try deactivating that to see if it makes a difference.
    Superfluous p tags are showing up in your text like this:
    I’ve answered the first and second questions this week, and so, for today, here’s the third:</p><p>
    It’s possible the p tags aren’t getting closed properly.
    If this is happening when you switch between text and visual editors, you could try the “Preserved HTML Editor Mark Up” plug in which can help prevent the tag trimming that the tinymce editor does.
    The other thing to look into is wpautop which WP uses to add p tags.

    Thanks, web brewers.

    This problem is unfortunately not going away. (If you Google “WordPress paragraph coding disappears Visual Text” you get a lot of discussions, and some from over a year ago.)

    I searched for Preserved HTML Editor Mark Up plugin, but couldn’t find it.

    Where do I find wpautop?

    This is the plug in:

    Google for an explanation of wpautop.
