Thanks a lot. Still a little tricky as stated above, but it helped me, in the end, to add line breaks. Fantastic. I will add a link to this post.

The paragraph tag does work from what I’ve tried. I guess maybe you need a space in it as shown here?

Ok it all disappeared because of html-tags so I’ll try again

I know this is old, but I have solution that survives the visual editor as well:

Put this instead of br:

Thank you so much! I’ve been so frustrated with not being able to get in the returns that I wanted, and I was doing everything you described–hitting return a lot, adding and . So, may I tell you I’m THRILLED with a solution?

I had a blog hanging that I wanted to post tomorrow–but it looked so nasty all smooshed together that I just couldn’t do it. It’s looking good and ready to go now!

Will have to tell my theme people that it’s not them–I had posted in the forum, thinking the problem was the theme.

Thanks again!

I found this while searching for a “fix” — I like this better

WordPress is just trying a wee bit too hard to be helpful

And you are definitely right about the fickleness of the forced line break – if you don’t continue to edit the document in the HTML editor, the visual editor will strip the line breaks, taking you back square one. I will add a note to the end of the original post to make new readers aware of that before they use the method.

Thanks!

Nice. Except the next time someone clicks on the visual editor for WP, your line breaks are gone again.

Yes, WP deliberately seeks out and deletes that “invisible content.” Why? It’s so infuriating.
