Are you trying to move your cursor down one line space in the WordPress editor, but it keeps adding two spaces?

There’s a reason for this!  The page is coded in HTML and there is one tag for a line breaks (one space) and another tag for a paragraph (two spaces).

  • Use Shift+Enter for a single line break
  • Use Enter to create a new paragraph
