Hell everyone, can anyone pls tell me how to adjust the line spacing in Wordpress?
Hi Buddle, to override WordPress you will need to add some code in your text editor to vary the space between lines, paragraphs and headings. Text Goes Here Text Goes Here Text Goes Here Text Goes Here
I don't like headings centered between paragraphs, I like them nearer to the paragraph they represent. To bring your header nearer to the paragraph you would enter the code before your heading h1, or whatever size heading your using:Heading Goes Here
To reduce the space between the paragraphs you would enter the code at the start of the paragraph:
To reduce line spacing you would use:
To change the font-size you would use:
If you want to use them all then the code would be:
Copy and place the code at the start of every paragraph where you want them to apply. You can make these changes in you theme's style sheet so that they would apply to throughout your site without having to copy and paste them, but that's a different story!
Hope this helps.You can take a look at my site if you wish:
safeweightloss4all.com
as an example of how this looks.
Just my opinion, but if you make them any closer than WP has created, they will be too hard to read by the "average Joe".

I really don't understand why you want to change the line spacing. This is one of the things that WordPress has got right. You need space between paragraphs for the text to be easy to read. The days of long paragraphs have long gone.
Hi Buddle, I had some problems in this area and as Melanies said I learned to control it by using shift and enter and hift and delete.
enter will at the end of a sentance will drop the following lines down. Delete at the front of a sentence will move that text up.
When I try to "bold" a heading it tends to make everything bold so I have to drop the text way down so it will be normal. When I get it started I use the delete in the front to bring it back up.
I hope this will help as things may be different for you.
Marty
Thanks, Marty, but that does not work. It does in the Draft, but when you save, and then look at the Preview, the spacing is huge.
I lost a blog and then started writing in OneNote till I found that it was not the right tool. Everytime I copy and pasted it came out in a big block and had to be reconfigured. This app gives me the option to file, download, share and copies as I have it written. It is Google Docs on my Mac.......Marty
Thanks, Melaniess, I use this, but the spacing is still to wide for me. I want the lines to be closer together than that.
You're welcome, unfortunately the WP themes seem to be a little more limited than I'm used to and I don't know of any other way to get it closer than that.
If you get a better option please post it here so we all have it for future use.
Melanie
Sure. I am beginning to believe it is all in the code... As Ken states. Too far above me at this stage. Oh dear.
Yes I agree I'm not at that level either so I decided to stick with what I was able to do with the shift & enter keys....:-)
Happy Saturday to you. Depending on the theme you chose for your website, the fonts, line spacing, colors, everything is controlled by the CSS code (styling) of your theme. To make changes in this code, I would highly suggest having an experienced webmaster make the adjustments for you.
Without knowing your theme, you can control a little by the formatting you use in your word processor before uploading it as "text" into your WordPress editor.
I always select 1 1/2 line spacing and use Arial as my font.
Good question, I hope this helps
Ken
Thank you, Ken. A friend said it was probably in the code. Heck!
I have done it in Pages, perfect spacing, but when I copy and paste into WP, THAT's when the dissatisfaction occurs!

Does anyone know, pls, how to adjust the line spacing in wp?
Hell everyone, can anyone pls tell me how to adjust the line spacing in Wordpress?
Easy way- press shift+enter at end of sentence and you will get a single space instead of the wordpress nonsense of double spacing everything.
You could go into appearance / editor and find the .post p line and edit that 1. post p{line-height: 1.5em;}
or if you want less spacing between paragraphs you can change padding
1. post p {
2 line-height: 1.5em;
3 padding-bottom: 15px;
4 }
If you dont have a .post p line you can just make one but where to put it in the css is another thing. might be able to add it in the additional css area in the customize section - editor / site name above dashboard / customize button in black bar/ scroll down to see additional css box

Hope it helps. What do you intend to promote on your banner? If you promote products through affiliate programs they'll automatically give you banner codes and affiliate links
Oops - a little bit confused...I am looking for how to create the URL for a banner ad, Believe It - is this the same thing?
Yes, but what I don't understand is what kind of banner you want to create. When people click on the banner, where does it take them? Do you have a link already? Is it a link to your website? Or a link to a product you are promoting?
No banner yet. Still creating it! Through fiverr, but they all say they do not create the codes. Now is a code the same as the HTMl thingy?
yes, it's a code you will insert within your "text" tab on wordpress. It looks something like this

Hi, all you kind and gentle critics (!),
I have written 3 articles on personal experiences of mine, and would like some critique pls. Comments welcome.
Please see
Very nice articles. Easy to read, great content. Just when I thought it was safe to climb a tree! LOL! Good job! Dave
As far as I am concerned, the snakes are all in the same category. The category of "Not for me!"
I thought the mamba articles were very well written with good attention to detail. I found nothing wrong with them. Great job.
Thank you VH, at least I know I am on the right track now. I have plenty more articles in my memories, so will continue in the same vein...just write what I remember!

Hi, can anyone tell me what action I have to take on this please?
What is a pingback? Lordy, sometimes I feel like such a dummy!
A new pingback on the p
Buddle: A pingback is a communication term that means a person in testing a line or a connection (as per a computer) sends a test signal out to the location that is being tested. They send a "ping" out and if they get it back (the connection is sound or the dirction of the computer) they call that a "pingback". Don't feel bad. I didn't use to know what is meant but now I sort of understand it.
Now talking about pingback, why don't you ping me a private message and let me know what "buddle" refers too. lol :>) DAN
Thanks, and oh yeah - I forgot about that! Maybe I should write that as a short story on my website! I promise I will disclose it soon.
Write away baby! I can hardly wait. Paul wants to know also and Jack and Bob and Vinnie. Get my point? DAN
Buddle: Get the snow out of the way and as soon as the New Year pops and get to it baby...everyone wants to know about "How Buddle Came to Be." lol and Happy New Year. :>) DAN
Hello and I think that it is good to get ping backs because it shows that you site has been seen somewhere and this is exposure that you want just go and accept it as the comments - ok
HI, this previous post should answer your question and help you to disable them if you wish. What are Pingbacks & how to disable them Victoria

Can someone please tell me what the difference is between a Tag, and a Keyword in a WP Post? Jay says ensure the keywords are entered, but I only see (in WP-admin) the option
There are several sites with explanations for Tech. terms; just Google it; there is also webopedia, look it up.Good luck.I have followed you, ask for help anytime.
Not that I know of Tim! You can use the search bar in the upper portion of your screen here in WA and find anything you are looking for, but, it would be nice to have all the relevant terms in one document.
Merry Christmas Buddle. I think you are referring to when you are about to publish your content, you want to know is there a difference in the two, Keywords and Tags. I have learned recently that there actually is a difference in the two.
[A question was raised earlier about the keyword tool and grammar. A member wanted to know if it was alright to not use proper grammar because the competition was much lower than if she used the correct grammar for her keyword]. It was pointed out you can do both - use proper grammar for your keyword (this is what Google goes by) but then use different grammar for your "Tag" which also helps in the serps.
When you are about to publish your content, you fill in the information - Meta Title; - Meta Description; and last - Meta Keywords. When you enter your tags, this can be different than your keywords. - (Think of categories as a way to organize your posts as chapters of a book, think of tags as an index of a book. Create tags that are relevant to your post. When you create tags, it also creates an archive which creates another internal link which may help somewhat with SEO, but that's debatable. - JeffreyS)
Good question - I hope this helps
Ken
Ken, WHERE does one enter the Keywords in WP? I don't see a window for that. Tags and Categories, yes, but Keywords?
Sorry for the dumb question.
Not sure what you mean by 'ensure the keywords are entered'. You use keyword in url, meta title, meta description, title, first paragraph, somewhere in the summary, in figures (alt text or file name). You write an article around one single keyword but you should certainly use synonyms throughout the text. Tags are added in separate box for tags.
Well, I am kind of new to all of this but I have read that Keywords in your post should be used in the tags. This will help the ranking for the SEO's!
Hope this is all correct and I am sure someone will give you a definite.
