Hard Returns not holding

    Hi all,

    I’m having trouble with hard returns (
    <p>)”sticking”. When I make multiple returns they aren’t showing up in the HTML and when I code them in they are deleted when saved or when I return to the visual editor.

    I thought I had this problem resolved but once I upgraded to 2.5.1 the problem returned.

    Sorry if there is already a post for this I did a search and nothing came up.

    Thanks

    Do you mean that empty <p></p> tags or single <p> tags are being removed? If you need more vertical space between paragraphs, try adjusting the margin or padding using css instead of using multiple returns each time.

    yes as well as breaks.

    I would add more margin or padding if it were my site however this is for a client and Hard Returns is a request from them. Each paragraph will not need the exact same padding and margin space.

    Here is a hack that works:

    put a dot ‘.’ for as many lines as you want breaks, then right before the first dot add <<font color=”ffffff”>and then put as many dots as you need (for line breaks); then use the hex code to match your background and the dots will not show up but the space will. Then close after the last dot with “</font>. The above hex code is for white background. There are plenty hex code (html) sites for html safe colors.
