Adding Multiple Line Breaks

By May 12, 2016No Comments

Let’s make a sentence with multiple line-breaks in WordPress.

Let’s line break using shift + return.
Ok, here’s my first single line break. Let’s publish and see what it does.

Let’s make a sentence. Oh, that is a sentence. Let’s line break using shift + return.<br>Ok, here’s my first single line break. Let’s publish and see what it does.

That seems to work. Now let’s add five line breaks consecutively.

Ok let’s take a look.

Let’s just hit return three time without shift.

Ok…

Let's just hit return three time without shift.<br><br><br>Ok...

Here’s the php I used…

remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop' );add_filter( 'the_content', 'nl2br' );add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'nl2br' );

It works!
