Problem with empty paragraphs

Hello Bodhi,

You should be setting up the CSS in the back end and in the front end so that your users neither need nor want to mess around with double carriage returns.

If you want to have more white space between paragraphs you should put something like this into your CSS:
#entry p { padding-bottom: 10px; }

If your webpage shows correctly and the problem is just in the editor, make sure you have WYSIWYG mode properly configured using this guide. If there’s some problem with the display even in the WYSIWYG mode, you can enter the above CSS into Custom WYSIWYG CSS in plugin options.

Of course you might want to play with the exact padding value and you must enter the right CSS selector, #entry should work with most templates.

If you really can’t live without extra carriage return, you can use Shift + Enter at the end of paragraph.

If you really need these empty paragraphs, you can just replace line 39 in foliopress-wysiwyg/fckeditor/editor/plugins/foliopress-clean/fckplugin.js with this:

//strChange = strChange.replace (“<p> </p>”,””); // disabled to allow empty paragraphs

But you have to be careful to do the fix again after each plugin upgrade then.

We really recommend you to go the clean CSS way.

Thanks,
M.
