Thank you for responding. I took the site out of maintenance mode and the icons appear as intended, but on the admin side the error still appears. I don’t have any content on the site yet so it’s hard to know if this will be a problem. I may be changing the domain name, but for now it is turned on at designsage.net.

In reply to: New User – Why are there no paragraph breaks in my posts?1. How do I clear the cache?
2. How do I change the default to not use blockquotes? I’ve never selected blockquotes so not sure how/why it is using them.
3. Is there a way to set it to default to the Visual Editor so i don’t have to manually select it every time I create a post?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: New User – Why are there no paragraph breaks in my posts?So I shouldn’t use Super Cache ever, or just while I set up the site? If I turn it back on, won’t it just cause the same problem?

In reply to: New User – Why are there no paragraph breaks in my posts?I tried turning off each plugin and then checked the About Me page to see if it was fixed – it didn’t work. If I need some of these plugins (for security etc), is it better to just find a theme that doesn’t react like this to plugins, or is it really better to install yet another one and hope it doesn’t conflict with something else?

In reply to: New User – Why are there no paragraph breaks in my posts?Nope, just set up Another Test Page and paragraphs did not show when I hit return, just like the About Me page.

In reply to: New User – Why are there no paragraph breaks in my posts?Ok, I see that there is a space underneath the Classic Editor to type in an excerpt, but that’s not where I’m typing out the post. Shouldn’t I have to type something IN the excerpt box for that to happen?
Incidentally, the same thing is happening on my About Me page. I can understand why using the excerpt makes sense to shorten posts in small boxes on the main page, but really don’t want this to happen in the About Me page.

In reply to: New User – Why are there no paragraph breaks in my posts?I’ve spent a considerable amount of time on this and still the problem persists. I found a new, responsive theme, got everything set up all over again and once again there are no paragraphs in my posts. A Google search shows that many people have had this problem going back at least 7 or 8 years.
Some people suggest adding the following to the CSS file:
p {
margin-bottom: 1em;
}I (eventually) figured out how to do that since no one provided instructions, but it didn’t work for me. Any other thoughts here? I really have a hard time believing none of these themes were designed to handle paragraphs. I’ve also tried turning on/off all plugins again and that didn’t work.

In reply to: New User – Why are there no paragraph breaks in my posts?Ok, I will also take your advice and switch to a more responsive theme, even if I have to start all over customizing it. I do want something mobile compatible. Thanks again for your help.

In reply to: New User – Why are there no paragraph breaks in my posts?Sorry, forgot to mention that I switched to the 2015 theme…

In reply to: New User – Why are there no paragraph breaks in my posts?I’m not sure what the cache is but I found a plugin called WP Super Cache, figured out how to delete the cache, and then deactivated the plugin. (Why was it on by default if I shouldn’t have it active?)
Did everything you said and tried two posts. Both put the paragraphs in where they should be. Next steps? I don’t like this theme so hoping that’s not the problem.

In reply to: New User – Why are there no paragraph breaks in my posts?Why do the letters “n…b…s…p” not show on this page when I paste them? Anyway, those letters are in between two sentences in my editor and I did not put them there.

In reply to: New User – Why are there no paragraph breaks in my posts?Hm, in the visual editor, in between “This post has no html tags” and “Testing paragraphs…” it says ” ” I tried to paste it above but it doesn’t show up.

In reply to: New User – Why are there no paragraph breaks in my posts?It still doesn’t work – visual editor shows returns but they don’t appear live. And it changed the text, this is what it looks like in the editor:
Experimenting with the visual editor.
This post has no html tags.
Testing paragraphs one more time.

In reply to: New User – Why are there no paragraph breaks in my posts?I appreciate all of the help, and so fast too! I did install the plugin WP Edit and will play around some more. So basically everyone with a WordPress site actually has to type <p> tags into every paragraph in every post they write on their site? This sure seems inefficient…hopefully someone will eventually find a way around this!
