When I hit the return button in the visual editor, it shows some spacing between the paragraphs.

But then when I update the post and go to view it, the spacing is not there.

Can anybody help me with this?


I'm using Version 2.8.6

And Atahualpa 3.4.5

Thank you!

What do you see when in HTML mode? Also why such an old version of WordPress?

I see pretty much the same thing as in visual, but in a different font.

SUCH an old version? It was installed a couple months ago.

Bad choice of words. I just am always on the latest version and don't realize how quickly some of the versions came out.

Any possibility of plugin conflicts?

What plugins could possibly be causing this? I have like 10 installed.

When I am having strange problems I disable all the plugins and see if the problem remains. If not I start activating the plugins one by one and see when the problem comes back.

Are you familiar with HTML at all? You will want to go into HTML mode, the little tab on the top right of the text entry box next to the Visual tab, and add some breaks after your sentences, with a break code like this, <br> , here is another example...

Definition and Usage

The <br> tag inserts a single line break.

The <br> tag is an empty tag which means that it has no end tag.
Browser Support

Internet Explorer Firefox Opera Google Chrome Safari

The <br> tag is supported in all major browsers.
Differences Between HTML and XHTML

In HTML the <br> tag has no end tag.

In XHTML the <br> tag must be properly closed, like this: <br />.
Tips and Notes

Note: Use the <br> tag to insert line breaks, not to create paragraphs.

Yep, I know about html. I tried using the <br> tag before and it didn't work. I tried it again today and it still doesn't work. Any other suggestions?
