WordPress – Where’d my paragraphs go?

without comments

I recently switched webhosting companies. One of the many little glitches that appeared was that when I would edit an entry in WordPress it would erase all the new line and paragraph breaks.

I did lots of digging and found a zillion hacks only one of which works.

Log into WordPress
Click ‘Users’ ( top row where you see the Dashboard button )
Click ‘Your Profile’ ( second row next to Authors & Users )

Uncheck ‘Use the visual editor when writing’
Click ‘Update Profile’

Now go to options->writing and change the size of the text box to about 30 or 40 lines.

It’s perhaps not the best work around, but it is the one that works.
