The answer likely lies in your CSS.

I have the exact opposite problem. WordPress inserts line spacing on its own, forcing me to delete them quite often. It inserts this code Which really screws up my businesses website because it causes misalignment with photo spacing, making us look very unprofessional. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Try pasting this code in at the end of each paragraph. Make sure you are in HTML mode:

You may only need one code instead of two:

Thanks for this, I have my own wordpress install so i simply use a plugin to prevent spaces from being removed. My GF, however, does not have that luxury on wordpress.com so this was a great help to her.

I have been seeking a resolution to this problem of WP striping the blank lines and came across your elequant solution. It works fine when dealing with paragraphs and I will use it often. However, it doesn’t work so well within a list. want to place an empty line between paragraphs of an ordered list and when this solution is used WP places the solution code between paragraph tags. While the resulting page formats correctly, it will not pass validation testing. Do you have a way to insert blank lines within an ordered list that will pass validation testing?

Hehe, that was pretty stupid. Thanks for the solution, although I find it easier to add a period and making it white, and I don’t have to type/paste any kind of HTML-code.

Please have a look and tell me what I did wrong?
Thanks

The WordPress editor is supposed to be WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get), but it’s not WYSIWYG for line-spacing.

This code is helpful:

I used it here to add an extra line before my headings: http://www.kevinkane.com/2010/12/get-a-second-monitor-to-increase-your-productivity-and-save-time/

Thanks for this. WordPress is really a cool platform and i don’t know why it strips out all tags. It’s pretty annoying and it looks like they will not fix this.
