In order for me to get the paragraphs to work, i'd have to post each paragraph in it's own individual widget, and that's just too tedious. Is their any way at all I can get paragraphs to work in one widget, or am I stuck posting each paragraph in a separate one?

Well I guess i'm on my own with this issue...

what was your forum url???

It isn't my forum, it's a forum I attend. I wrote an editorial for the forum, and the forum admin is having trouble getting the forum widget to recognize paragraphs. He copies the editorial into the widget, and it shows up on the homepage as a wall of text, without any paragraphs.

He asked me if I knew any way to get the widget to show up with paragraphs, so I decided to come here. The editorial isn't on the homepage, but it's pretty clear what it looks like, and what it should look like. It shows up as a wall of text, but it should contain spaces in between paragraphs.

All help is greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I guess. Although, like I said, the editorial isn't posted in the widget now. He said he'd have to post a paragraph in each individual widget in order for it not to be scrunched together.

Please don't double/triple post. Your post need to be separated by 24 hours before bumping, replying or adding more information. Please use the edit button instead!

Hi!
Make sure you're using HTML in the text of your editorial.
For separating lines, you can use <br>, and for paragraphs, <p>.

Code:

<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<p>This is another paragraph</p>

So as to format the text, you may prefer to use HTML as well or, even better, press the +HTML button at the top corner of the text editor so that you get the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor and change the font, colour, etc.

You usually use this editor when putting only text, tables, images, etc. in your widget. When you're going to use a code, that's when you use the simple editor.

I hope it works!

Thanks AnaMi it worked for me.
