When people write long posts, it’s one massive paragraph with a <br> in place of the paragraph. The same happens when we answer.
Is there any way I can fix this?

I notice the same happens here. One massive paragraph definitely isn’t ideal for SEO or usability.

Testing a comment.

Does it add paragraphs?

Paul M

I notice when I edit the question in the front end, to add breaks, the paragraphs work successfully. So I can only imagine this is a bug?

Hello
Another test

To resolve this issue, you only possible add the following code to the style.css file:

/* Single question page */
.single-dwqa-question p{
    margin-bottom: -0.9em;
}

Hope this helps !

Hi Dominic the editor is actually spitting out no paragraphs. 
 
Line one<br>
Line two<br>
etc
It should be:
<p> Line 1</p>
<p>Line 2</p>

At the moment, to resolve this issue, you can press “shift+enter” key.

I can’t really tell that to our visitors? I will have to try and find a fix.

But if you can fix this in a future release that’d be great.

Sorry about that and also thanks for letting us know. We will discuss about this issue.

Thanks for your reply, Dominic.

Unfortunately, the issue still exists for me.
You can see this video to see it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbZ1ZUrzH7c

This doesn’t happen when I write a normal WordPress post.

Can you please look into this for me?

Thank you.

I know what you want. I have checked on our demo and see that I have fixed it and if you want to write a paragraph same as you did in the video, you need to use the shift + enter.
Example:
Paragraph 1 " shift + enter"
"shift + enter"
Paragraph 2.

I see. Thanks.

But as Paul M said above, my visitors are not tech savvy enough to know that. When they ask questions on my site, they think the spaces they see in the editor will stay, but they are actually removed after they post. This can lead to ugly formatting and bad user experience.

I'd like to preserve the tags like when I compose a normal WordPress post.

What can I do?

Dominic Staff

Yes, if you resolve this issue, you can add the following code to the functions.php file of your theme:

/* Filter Tiny MCE Default Settings */
add_filter( ‘tiny_mce_before_init’, ‘my_switch_tinymce_p_br’ );

/**
* Switch Default Behaviour in TinyMCE to use “”
* On Enter instead of “”
*/
function my_switch_tinymce_p_br( $settings ) {
$settings[‘forced_root_block’] = false;
return $settings;
}
