I deleted the problem post. * I copied the text from textpad into a new wp post. * I reinstalled the Twenty Ten theme. * When I try to separate paragraphs by hitting enter and then hit update, the font seems to change a couple of times and when done updating, the line breaks are gone. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Paragraphs & Line breaks & blank lines: editor strips out](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraphs-line-breaks-blank-lines-editor-strips-out/) * Thread Starter [jimbaum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimbaum/) * (@jimbaum) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraphs-line-breaks-blank-lines-editor-strips-out/#post-2105083) * Initially I did paste text directly from an email. But have since tried different approaches, like replacing the text via notepad. * The only theme file I changed was the footer and all I did was change a word that posts the “Proudly Powered by WordPress” to “Powered by WordPress”. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Paragraphs & Line breaks & blank lines: editor strips out](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraphs-line-breaks-blank-lines-editor-strips-out/) * Thread Starter [jimbaum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimbaum/) * (@jimbaum) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraphs-line-breaks-blank-lines-editor-strips-out/#post-2105076) * I deactivated all the plugins. Tried to insert a paragraph by hitting enter. When I hit update the post, the line break disappears. * Another piece of info: I just tried another wordpress installation on the same server for another web site. And this one has a worse problem. I tried to creat a new post and when I add text to the visual editor and hit update. All text in the visual editor disappears. * Is it possible the these two problems are related? * Here’s that page: [http://blog.gospelforwestafrica.com/?p=512](http://blog.gospelforwestafrica.com/?p=512) * Thank you for your efforts to help, esmi. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Paragraphs & Line breaks & blank lines: editor strips out](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraphs-line-breaks-blank-lines-editor-strips-out/) * Thread Starter [jimbaum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimbaum/) * (@jimbaum) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraphs-line-breaks-blank-lines-editor-strips-out/#post-2105070) * I normally use visual editor and hitting enter used to give me a paragraph.

Also, I hit the html edit button, try to make some changes, it I get the endless hour glass. Then I get a dialogue that says a script is making things slow, do I want to abort? If I say no it just keeps going. Any ideas? I need to try the above options changes to see if that helps the editing problem.
