 * Thanks for your time, Andrew
    The problem is that when I went through this with
   moderator TP over at Support (see the link above) I already tested with the TinyMCE
   <p> Advanced feature both turned on and turned off. Also tried with the Black
   Studio TinyMCE widget on and off as well Neither made any difference I’m not 
   aware of any other hacks or plugins that offer the same feature, so the odds 
   are I don’t have anything else running For now I’ve just been hitting return 
   twice for every paragraph – once published it seems to format ok Cheers mate

 * Hey TP
    Thought you might be interested to know, while I got no reply so far 
   from the TinyMCE people, I discovered something interesting on my own. Accepting
   the fact I was stuck with the line breaks, I made a post just copping it sweet,
   and hitting double return between paragraphs. The result? I got paragraphs! Even
   though it doesn’t show any <p> in the Text view. The I needed an actual line 
   break, and held shift while I hit return. AND I GOT A PARAGRAPH! Again, doesn’t
   show in the code, but at least I now have a workaround of sorts Thought you might
   be interested Cheers, John

 * Hey t-p I really appreciate you making your time available to help with this 
   issue… thanks for that!
    Sadly, I’ve now tried everything you suggested, still
   with no result Also, I tested a new page NOT using SiteOrigin’s Pagebuilder, 
   to eliminate a possible conflict with that: <p>Here we are again<br /> Testing
   <br /> the<br /> paragraphs</p> Same result unfortunately…

 * So I renamed the plugins folder
    Fixed the issue except the Text side doesn’t
   show any <p> or <br /> But the Visual side formats just right Then, I activated
   TinyMCE And the problem came back Then I activated ALL plugins and deactivated
   TinyMCE Problem still exists: See<br /> if<br /> This<br /> Fixes Next, I deactivated
   Black Studio TinyMCE Widget No joy! Will<br /> it<br /> work<br /> this<br />
   time? Really got me stumped hey

 * Didn’t have any effect, but you’ve given me an idea – let me deactivate all plugins
   and see what happens

 * OK Greg, thanks mate
    I will learn about HTML widget and what is shortcodes etc
   etc Because I like the idea of creating widgets using HTML and shortcodes – sounds
   like a skill I could use in other places… Do you mind me bothering you again 
   if I have any issues? Cheers John

 * Hey Clayton
 * Can you look at [http://www.minimizewrinkles.com/blog/](http://www.minimizewrinkles.com/blog/)
   and see how I’ve done what you said above, but the latest blog post is not displaying?
 * See the posts are all going to category and archive, but not displaying as normal—
   latest at the top of the page.
 * Any ideas mate?
 * Cheers
