# Visual Editor Issue

 * Hello,
    I’ve seen this problem posed throughout the forum, but have yet to find
   a solution, so I thought I would post this issue again.
 * The issue:
    If content is created initially in the visual editor – no line breaks
   or paragraphs are created in the published version (although `<b>,` `<em>`, and
   style tags appear properly).
 * For the content to appear correctly formatted the tags must be added through 
   the text editor and immediately saved. If I toggle back to the visual editor 
   paragraph and break tags will disappear.
 * Notes:
    1) Only writing content in the text editor is not a solution as it is
   not my site and the owner does not know html.
 * 2) I do not have this problem with other WP installs (usually content created
   in the visual editor appears properly coded in the text editor and publishes 
   with correct formatting). I also normally have no issue with toggling between
   visual and text.
 * Question:
    How can I get content created in the visual editor to publish with
   correct formatting?
 * What would cause this problem?
 * Example:

 * Can you replicate the problem using the default Twenty Thirteen theme with **
   all** other plugins deactivated?
