A quick question regarding the spacing of a comment on a post. One of our readers writes quite a lot in the comment boxes but it seems like hitting return keystroke does not add a paragraph space which runs all para’s together making it harder to read. How can I get the “return” or “enter” keystroke to add a space line break for paragraphs in the comments?
Hi,
Unfortunately I cannot provide you a solution for this, wordpress handles comments and remove blank lines.
You can try this solution if it helps: http://www.jbspartners.com/usability/wordpress-strips-removes-blank-lines-while-i-add-empty-lines/
Thanks!
Thanks for the quick response. It’s odd because I migrated from your Newspaper theme and if memory serves correctly, I believe it added proper spacing between paragraphs in the comment section. When using the default wordpress theme, it seems to add a line (space) between paragraphs in the comments box. I was thinking this might have something to do with the stylesheet but perhaps not.
Hi,
Like I said above wordpress handles comments and remove blank lines, also on Newspaper theme is the same, maybe you have used a plugin.
You can add margin bottom for comments paragraphs if you like, please add this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/Ew3tATuxm6
.comment-content p{
margin-bottom: 10px !important;
}
Hope this helps!
That’s exactly what I needed. Thanks for the help. This makes reading long comments much easier. 🙂
