Title: Paragraph tags problem Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Paragraph tags problem * Resolved [JM28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaapme/) * (@jaapme) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraph-tags-problem/) * Hi, * I’m facing the problem that the output of my text does not contain line breaks though using paragraph tags. * The field keeps removing the tags although I tested this with the plain paragraph text and the WYSIWYG field, enabled wpautop and added ‘p’ to allowed html tags. * The code I’m using in my theme: [http://pastebin.com/5NjTgjnN](http://pastebin.com/5NjTgjnN) * Anyone has a solution? * Thank you in advance! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * Plugin Contributor [Jim True](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimtrue/) * (@jimtrue) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraph-tags-problem/#post-6183326) * The display method is designed to output your field data as ‘displayed’ so yes, that should work. What settings do you have on the field in Advanced options? * Thread Starter [JM28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaapme/) * (@jaapme) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraph-tags-problem/#post-6183331) * Thank you for your reply. I haven’t changed anything in the advanced options, so additional css classes is empty, as well as default value, set default value via parameter and all checkboxes on resctrict access are empty. Is this correct? * Plugin Contributor [Jim True](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimtrue/) * (@jimtrue) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraph-tags-problem/#post-6183335) * I meant under the ‘Additional Field Options’ for your large text field? Several output options with checkboxes there; what do you have in those settings? * Thread Starter [JM28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaapme/) * (@jaapme) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraph-tags-problem/#post-6183336) * Ah okay: * Editor: tinymce Output options: all enabled Allowed html tags: strong em a ul ol li b i p h1 h2 h3   * Thread Starter [JM28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaapme/) * (@jaapme) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraph-tags-problem/#post-6183350) * Do you have a solution for this? * Plugin Author [Scott Kingsley Clark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sc0ttkclark/) * (@sc0ttkclark) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraph-tags-problem/#post-6183354) * You can’t use wpautop and allow `

` tags, it reformats it. * Thread Starter [JM28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaapme/) * (@jaapme) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraph-tags-problem/#post-6183362) * I really don’t get it. Tried to use (1) wpautop without using tags and (2) disabled wpautop and included

tags. Both didn’t work? * Plugin Author [Scott Kingsley Clark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sc0ttkclark/) * (@sc0ttkclark) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraph-tags-problem/#post-6183363) * Sorry, this has got to be frustrating for you, we’ll get it figured out. * In order for us to figure the exact issue and fix it (if it’s a bug), we’ll want to reproduce this on our side. * Can you help us make sure we have a complete grasp of your issue? - What pod type is this happening on? - What is the exact field type / options you have set? - Can you provide example content you’re putting into the field? - Can you provide an example of what you expect the output HTML to be? - Can you provide an example of what the output HTML actually ends up being?( the wrong HTML) * Thread Starter [JM28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaapme/) * (@jaapme) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraph-tags-problem/#post-6183364) * Okay thank you, * * Pod type: Taxonomy (extended) * * Field type: WYSIWYG (visual editor),options checked: Allow shortcode, Allow html tags: strong em a ul ol li b i p h1 h2 h3   * * Example content:

` tags. If you want line breaks like that, it should be done in the theme’s CSS. Try `div#content > p { margin-bottom: 12px;}` for instance. * If you really want a completely empty line, you want to use: `

 

` but that’s really a hack, you should do all display tweaks in CSS and not in the content with that sort of thing. * In the “allowed html tags” option, you need to remove the   because that’s not how that option works and could lead to some weird results.
