Wordpress. When I hit 'enter' in text editor it doesn't create a new line???

Dear Wordpress Gurus,

Please help, this is driving me insane. In the post WYSIWYG when I hit enter, to create some spacing between elements it doesn't do anything.

I checked the inspector and it creates an empty <div> instead of a &nbsp;

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Joe

Hi Joe,

First thing you should try is set any default theme you have, and disable all plugins, then selectively enable them to see which one causes the problem.

If you're developing theme then you have some function attached to filters which are fired before the_content() function outputs your WYSIWYG editor content.

You could also try hit shift+enter to make <br> tag instead of &nbsp, maybe that's easiest way to solve your problem.

Hope it helps,

Konrad
