Losing paragraph Tags in WordPress Posts

WordPress Logo

If you are one of the folks that work with (or want to work with) WordPress to create websites and have control over the CSS, you may have been having problems with the loss of paragraph (<p> </p>) tags in the WordPress editor. You may be wandering around looking for a solution, and have been having trouble finding a solution. There is a solution.

Background: The Tiny MCE editor strips <br/> tags and </p> <p> tags. Worst yet, it removes them inconsistently. Apparently, this was originally designed into the program to avoid some old security problem with the editor.

Solution: Install the TinyMCE Advanced plugin. Go to the settings/configuration area for TinyMCE Advanced and click to stop removing the tags. Much better. Enjoy ….
