adding linebreaks in posts and pages

hi there 😉

since a while i am having problems while writing articles. This may not be a theme related thing. But I don’t know …

Since the plugin “UltimateTinyMCE” has changed to “WPedit” i cannot insert linebreaks while writing articles. Has someone of you got the same problems with this?
Even if i insert <br> in the text-editor, wordpress simply ignores it …

best regards
torsten

Not having that issue.

Although often in WordPress the way to create “double line breaks” has been to add a nonbreaking space on its own line.

The code function here won’t let me type a non breaking space, which is odd.

& nbsp;

without the space after the &.

Hi thanks for your reply ….

the thing is, that I can see these non breaking spaces in the text editor (after hitting the enter button friom within the visual editor), but it does not have any effect. This really happens since i have done the update from ultimatetinymce to wpedit.

this may be not the reason for it. but the old version of the plugin had a button for these linebreaks. and it worked fine.

We only use the built in WP editing tools, which is why I use the non breaking space to add double line breaks. WP strips out multiple returns otherwise and has done for years now.

I think that using the br on multiple lines only works inside of a p tag “normally.”

For a plugin you’re using – you may wish to visit the support page for that on the WordPress.org site, where the plugin dev might be able to provide support, as it’s not a theme function.
