As you can see in the top post, line 1/2/3 are separated by
but do not show up on separate lines. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

I see where you can add it to the body of the post by adding the code through the text editor, but it doesn't appear to work in the post title.

On my post "Scouting trip: Potawatomi Trail run," I would like the line to break after "trip:" This would make the title read much easier on the page.

FYI -- Foursquare does allow for such breaks simply by adding the coding (the same coding that you can now use in WP in the body copy).

Thanks.

#main-title {
width: 100%;
}

#search {
display: none;
}

Give this a try after adding the above and it will make the title/tagline DIV 100% width, which should get rid of the text wrap.

And remove the search box?

See the nasty break in:

I've tried going into settings to change this, but don't see how it is possible. I've looked at other pages for my theme and they don't have this same problem. Please help.

Once I click preview or update. The text goes right back to where it was.
I check in "text" tab, the <p style="margin-top:30px;">MY TEXT</p> is still in there but, no space.
I've tried on Firefox and Safari.

<p style="margin-top:30px;">YOUR TEXT HERE</p>

Hit "preview" to see how it looks, and alter the "30" to taste.

When I update the page, the text below is moved up right against it.
I hit "enter" a couple of times to give more space, click update,
and there it is again.

How do I stop that. I've tried

to no avail.

I don't know what all of the html codes mean and the link wp.com gave takes me to a site that ultimately doesn't help/go anywhere.

I've been searching for almost an hour. I'd love some help.

Thanks so much!

If you are working in the Visual editor, to get single spacing between paragraphs hold the SHIFT key down and simultaneously click ENTER at the end of the paragraph.

If you are working in the HTML (Text) editor, a single click of ENTER will give you a single-spaced line, and two clicks of ENTER will result in double spaced lines. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/09/13/wordpress-formatting-and-spacing/

P.S. When you create a new post, always make sure the Format tool is set to Paragraph before you start typing. It's in the Visual editor Row 2 first position "style". See the illustration here http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2 If you forget to do that then edit the post, highlight all in the Visual editor, select Paragraph from the Format tool, switch editor to Text then switch back to Visual and click Update.

Meanwhile I helped myself by inserting <p> in text mode which worked fine. Interestingly, after changing to visual mode and back to text mode my insertion <p> was no more to be seen, but the paragraph effect fortunately remained.

It is obviously a bug in wordpress software.

I can easily reproduce it: Put some text into a new article. Then insert something with copy and paste from Facebook. Because the resulting font is different from that used before the insertion, go to text mode and remove the markup you will find there (<h5 ...). Go back to visual mode and the insertion is the next line after the original text. Then go to the end of the original text and press return. You get a new paragraph (new line with white space between the two parts), but you will never see this paragraph in the preview or in the article after publishing.

In the Visual editor, shift return gives a line break (= skip to next line, no extra white space). For a paragraph break (= skip to next paragraph, white space between) you pres return, not shift return. For this to work, the Format tool (row 2 tool 1) must be set to Paragraph. http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/white-space-2?replies=11#post-1023532

How can I insert the empty line?

For example, "Under Construction" becomes "Under Construc­tion"

Still have the word-wrap (or rather, mid-word break) problem, though. Again, thanks in advance for any advice.

Also, The Columnist theme is shown on the demo under "Themes" as having cool images behind the titles of the articles. I assume these are purported to be images (or parts of images) taken from the fake articles therein. Yet I see no way of making this happen once I select that theme. My aforementioned article has merely a grey box behind the title on the front page. I haven't paid for any upgrades; I assume the version I see in the demo is the baseline.

Any help? Thanks in advance. The blog I'm asking about is DodgyQuad.com.

<div style="clear:both;">
IMAGE/TEXT PAIR HERE

Same thing for any image or text that follows the last image/text pair.

Thanks.
