If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s). -switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems. * [HudsonValleyWebDesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaycbrf/) * (@jaycbrf) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraphs-not-separating/#post-7363234) * It looks like there are no paragraphs in the code. Just a bunch of text that runs together. * All paragraphs should be wrapped in
tags. * If you used the text editor WP will not insert html tags for you. Without the correct tags the text will not be formatted. * You also need to use a custom stylesheet with your theme to make sure everything looks they way you want. * Thread Starter [flavorfuleats](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flavorfuleats/) * (@flavorfuleats) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraphs-not-separating/#post-7363288) * jaycbrf, * I typed my post on WordPress, so I was under the impression I didn’t need to use coding, such as
