Simple WordPress Themes

Hi Casey,

What would you suggest for addressing this problem of losing paragraph and break tags switching between Visual and Text mode? Here's a thread about it:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paragraph-tags-disappear-between-html-and-visual

I'm trying to add paragraphs in this page and it's driving me crazy:

The way to workaround for now it seems to be by adding , wrapping the whole section in a div. You then see line breaks in Visual mode instead of your paragraphs, and the tags stripped out, but at least it preserves formatting.



Tanks

WordPress will do that. It's probably the most popular complaint on the WP forums. I usually circumvent it by giving P tags a class name.

I'm trying this out. Seems to help. So empty DIV tags are no longer necessary?


Thanks.

Unless the empty div tag has a rule applied to it, no.

You can also try creating a custom field to your Page or Post named “wpautop” with a value of “false”. This will disable the WordPress wpautop() function for that post entirely. The downside is that you have to manually add all P tags.
