Fix To WordPress Removing Line Breaks <br> Tag Problem

When you compose an article in WordPress Editor and try to give a line break <br> for making another paragraph, you might have seen that WordPress removes all the line breaks including <br> and <p> codes. No matter what ever you do, you are entangled in a scenario impossible to give breaks. So entire article publishes in a single paragraph which many readers hate to read.

This is because of WordPress editor uses cleaning engine called “TinyMCE”. WordPress uses this code for cleaning the content before publishing and in the process also cleans up <br> and <p> too. To get through this problem we suggest using TinyMCE Advanced Plug-in which solves this problem and also gives more powerful editing features in the WordPress editor panel.

2. Go to TinyMCE Advanced Page in dashboard  and check the box “Stop removing the <p> and <br/> when saving and show them in the HTML editor.

You are done. Now proceed to the WordPress Editor and try giving a line break.

TinyMCE Advanced also adds a bunch of powerful editing features to your WordPress Editor including Advanced hr, Advanced Image, Advanced Link, Context Menu, Emotions (Smilies), Full Screen, IESpell, Layer, Media, Nonbreaking, Print, Search and Replace, Style, Table, Visual Characters and XHTML Extras.
