• Gutenberg Editor: A new paragraph block does not get inserted when i hit “return.” It only does one line break instead of a new paragraph. In other words, I am not able to double space. The

    For example, I type this in the Gutenberg Editor:

    The big dog.

    The big cat.

    When I publish, the text that appears does not double space, but appears as:

    The big dog.
    The big cat.

    I end up having to use a “spacer” to space my paragraphs.
    When I manually hit return I get another space in the Editor, but when I publish my post the text remains in the same place – as a single space.

  • A new paragraph block does not get inserted when i hit “return.” It only does one line break instead of a new paragraph.

    Em, not quite correct.

    It’s not the vertical spacing that determines whether something is a paragraph or a line break. It’s the kind of HTML code generated: <p> for paragraphs and <br> for line breaks.

    And I see lots of paragraph <p> tags in your page’s source code, so hitting Return is surely generating new paragraphs!

    The problem is that your Hello Elementor theme (or perhaps the Elementor plugin itself) is not giving any vertical spacing between paragraphs: specifically, I’m seeing both top and bottom margins of 0px for paragraphs in the code.

    There’s probably a way to visually set the margins for paragraphs in the Elementor plugin or Hello Elementor theme’s settings. But I’m not familiar with either of these add-ons, so you’ll need to seek help in either of these addon’s forums:

    Hello Elementor theme forum: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/theme/hello-elementor/

    Elementor plugin forum: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/plugin/elementor/

    If you’d rather use custom CSS code to override your Elementor style, add the following in APPEARANCE => CUSTOMIZE => ADDITIONAL CSS (or wherever you add custom CSS code for your site):

    .elementor-kit-919 p {
    margin-top: 20px;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
    }

    You may have to adjust the values to suit your needs. And you may have to empty any caching plugin/service you’re using before the above code will reflect on your site.

    Standing by for feedback!

    Okay, this makes sense that Elementor is causing the problem. Let me check if it is possible to set the paragraphs in Elementor.
    Thanks very much!

    I have Elementor Pro and I contacted their Help desk.
