Volete aggiungere un’interruzione di riga in WordPress o regolare l’interlinea tra i blocchi?
Nella maggior parte degli elaboratori di testo è possibile aggiungere facilmente uno spazio vuoto in più premendo alcune volte il tasto Invio. È anche possibile creare linee a doppia spaziatura dopo i paragrafi dalle opzioni di formattazione. Tuttavia, l’editor di blocchi di WordPress non ha questi pulsanti.
In questo articolo vi mostreremo come aggiungere facilmente un’interruzione di riga in WordPress.
Prima di iniziare, è importante sapere che l’interlinea è controllata dal tema WordPress utilizzato.
Vi mostreremo come aggiungere lo spazio tra i blocchi nell’editor dei blocchi e come modificare l’interlinea nel vostro tema se non siete soddisfatti del risultato.

Aggiunta di una doppia linea di spazio tra i blocchi
Quando si preme il tasto Invio per Windows o il tasto Return per Mac sulla tastiera per aggiungere un’interruzione di riga, WordPress la considera come un nuovo paragrafo.
Ciò significa che aggiungerà automaticamente il doppio spazio di riga, a condizione che il vostro tema abbia lo stile adatto (tutti i buoni temi di WordPress ce l’hanno).
È sufficiente andare nell’editor dei contenuti, premere il tasto Invio o Return dopo la riga e poi digitare qualcos’altro nella riga successiva.
Così facendo, in base allo stile del tema, si dovrebbe vedere una chiara distinzione tra i paragrafi.
Aggiunta di spazio su una riga singola
Ora, se state scrivendo qualcosa come un indirizzo, probabilmente vorrete che sia a spaziatura singola anziché doppia sul vostro sito WordPress.
In questo caso, è necessario premere il tasto MAIUSC + INVIO su Windows o il tasto MAIUSC + RETURN su Mac.
Questo indica a WordPress che si vuole iniziare una nuova riga all’interno di un paragrafo esistente. Pertanto, ha bisogno di un’interlinea singola rispetto a un’interlinea doppia.
Modificare l’altezza e la spaziatura delle linee
A volte, anche quando si aggiunge l’interlinea corretta nell’editor, non viene visualizzata nel modo desiderato nel tema.
Ci sono due modi per risolvere il problema:
- Utilizzo di un plugin (il modo più semplice)
- Manualmente con il codice CSS (più avanzato)
Vediamo prima il metodo più semplice.
Aggiunta dell’interlinea con un plugin
Se volete apportare modifiche di stile al vostro tema senza dover imparare il codice, utilizzare un plugin come CSS Hero è il modo migliore per farlo.
CSS Hero consente di modificare facilmente il design del vostro sito WordPress senza conoscere alcun codice.
Per maggiori dettagli, consultate la nostra recensione completa di CSS Hero.
Se si desidera apportare modifiche più importanti al tema, come lo spostamento di una barra laterale o l’aggiunta di un piè di pagina, un plugin per la creazione di pagine con trascinamento è l’opzione migliore. Un plugin per la creazione di pagine consente anche di apportare piccole modifiche, come la modifica dei colori dei caratteri o l’aggiunta di interruzioni di riga in WordPress.
Non volete usare un plugin o dovete solo apportare una modifica? Allora l’opzione del codice CSS manuale potrebbe fare al caso vostro.
Modificare la spaziatura dei paragrafi manualmente con il codice CSS
Per aggiungere manualmente le interruzioni di riga senza un plugin, è necessario aggiungere alcuni CSS al tema.
I CSS sono fondamentalmente come la funzione di formattazione di Microsoft Word. Invece di cliccare sui pulsanti, dovrete scrivere del semplice codice CSS. Non è così spaventoso come alcuni principianti potrebbero pensare. I CSS sono molto facili da capire se si seguono le istruzioni.
Per aggiungere CSS personalizzati al tema, è necessario visitare la pagina Aspetto ” Personalizza. Si aprirà il personalizzatore del tema di WordPress, dove è necessario fare clic sulla scheda “CSS aggiuntivi” nella colonna di sinistra.
Se non è possibile visualizzare queste opzioni di menu, è possibile che si stia utilizzando un tema a blocchi. Consultate il nostro articolo su come risolvere la mancanza del personalizzatore di temi nell’amministrazione di WordPress.
Nella casella CSS personalizzato, è necessario aggiungere il seguente codice CSS:
.post p{line-height: 1.5em;}
La regola CSS mostrata sopra modifica l’interlinea del contenuto del paragrafo a 1,5em. Em è un’unità di larghezza per la tipografia.
Stiamo utilizzando la classe .post
, che WordPress aggiunge automaticamente all’area del contenuto di tutti i post per assicurarsi che abbia effetto solo sui post e non sui paragrafi utilizzati altrove.
Ora, questo cambia solo la spaziatura della spaziatura singola.
Se si desidera modificare la spaziatura dei paragrafi in WordPress (cioè la spaziatura doppia), è necessario aggiungere il padding.
.post p {
line-height: 1.5em;
padding-bottom: 15px;
}
Sentitevi liberi di adattare i numeri alle vostre esigenze e di aggiungere la doppia spaziatura nell’HTML.
È inoltre possibile aggiungere CSS personalizzato al sito utilizzando il plugin WPCode. Il plugin rende molto semplice l’inserimento e la gestione del codice sul vostro sito.
Per maggiori dettagli, consultate la nostra guida su come aggiungere CSS personalizzati al vostro sito WordPress.

This was huge problem back in old creator. I never knew how it will look like and had to hit preview every couple of lines but i think with gutenberg it is way easier and i learnd to just use shift+enter. I do this automatically and almost without consciousness. Don’t know why but some websites don’t allow shift+enter only enter or not and then I’m like “WHY it is not working”!

I finally figured out the shift-enter thing for poetry single space lines, but when the post is published and emailed to followers, it loses formatting and all the lines run together. How do I fix that?

Thanks for the explanation. One question though. How can i do the same thing on a smartphone. I’m editing my blog on the way and do not have a laptop available. i tried to do shift enter but that did not work
WPBeginner Support says
Due to the limitations of mobile, you would likely need to use the CSS method.

To change the CSS it’s telling me I have to purchase a premium plan. Am I out of luck?
WPBeginner Support says
It sounds like you are on WordPress.com and this tutorial is for WordPress.org sites:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/self-hosted-wordpress-org-vs-free-wordpress-com-infograph/
you would sadly be limited to the other options such as shift+enter to single line space the content.

If you’re using a page builder plugin they may have a different method for the single/double line spacing. Otherwise, it could be a plugin/theme conflict where you would need to disable your plugins and/or swap your theme to check

Tim G says
I would like to reduce the spacing between normal paragraph lines — IMHO, there is too much white space by default. I’d also like to add a half line at the end of a paragraph, rather than a full line: WordPress by default seems to just do the equivalent of a double carriage return which is rather twentieth century and doesn’t emulate what Word can do. Any ideas?
WPBeginner Support says
You would want to reach out to the support for your specific theme and they should be able to tell you what CSS needs to be added to reduce your line spacing

LR says
I am using the Pilcrow theme and I have no idea how to make the double space between paragraphs happen. Sometimes it happens in my posts but sometimes it doesn’t. When I look in the HTML file I don’t see any post p or padding. I only see the end result of what the post will look like and thats when I know the double spacing didnt work. Can I still go back and re-edit and fix it? Last but not least where you say to go from the appearance to editor menus i dont have those options.
I have under appearance the following options: themes, customize, widgets, menus, header, background, AMP, Theme Options, Mobile.
Please help.
WPBeginner Support says
Hey LR,
You can add the CSS by visting Appearance->Customize and then clicking on the Additional CSS tab in customizer. See our guide on how to add custom CSS in WordPress.
If you believe it to be a theme issue, then try temporarily switching to a default WordPress theme. If the issue disappears, then you can ask your theme developer for support.

Derek Cummings says
My theme is broken, as in it doesn’t have the double spacing by default. The theme is stuck on the shift+enter mode in other words. So in relation to the following code:
.post p {
line-height: 1.5em;
padding-bottom: 15px;
}
Is 15px a normal default double space? How many pixels should it be by default? Also doesn’t it matter where I put this code? Thanx!
Femi says
Thank you for the tip on the shift + enter. I never knew this for years. Your site has always been a rescue when I get stuck.
Lyn says
Hello: How do you get custom line spacing (say, 1.5em) for one instance on one page instead of changing the entire theme CSS? I see two other people have asked the same thing with no response, at least not that I found. Thanks!
Denise B says
I set the p margins to zero. In your CSS, it would be something like p {margins: 0; }

Shift+Enter to avoid huge gap between lines in wysywig tinye mce editor in wordpress. Works !!!! Awesome!
Cat says
How about simply adding some text and changing the text colour to white (if the background is white)? This should make it possible to create and customise line spaces much easier (unless, of course, the background is a picture of something that cannot be matched with font colour).
Tim says
Thanks so much! Life saver!
Michael Rich says
Hi WPBeginner staff,
I have a different question. I use Visual Composer and have added many Separator with Text dividers between my section headings on my homepage. I would like to make those text headings also be a link to that section.
However everytime I add the link I lose the section identifying text that I had in the separator and it’s magically replaced with the default text saying “TITLE”.
To try to make it a link I am adding a the linking code inside this bracket:
[vc_text_separator title=”1950s CARS”]
I am scratching my head so hard that I think I’m bald. Any help will get you a lifetime of gratitude!!!
Thankyou,
Mike
Anthony Cooper says
I am using the WordPress ‘Divi’ theme and found that if you press enter (or shift + enter) twice, in order to create a larger space, it is ignored. To get round this press enter once, type a character on the line, (it does not matter what), highlight it and change the font colour of the character to white and then press enter again; this results in the desired space between lines without having to edit the theme. The same applies to extra spaces in a line; enter as many characters as desired, highlight them and change their font colour to white and then carry on in the desired font colour.
Julie says
Brilliant tip! Thanks so much for this, you saved me from lots of headaches and hassle Anthony!

I am a subscriber to WP Beginner.
I had a question concerning entering Engineering data for my product on my site. Spacing in the tables appeared too large on the page. I searched WordPress support and all I saw was snippy responses to the question of single line spacing.
Your the first to answer the question, and it obviously was correct. Thank You.
Sincerely,

What about on Android. The latest update has forced a double spacing (new paragraph). Not very good for poetry writers. Is there any way to revert it back to single?

I’m searching everywhere for an answer … when I add a in the text editor, it is removed in the visual editor. Drives me crazy. Does wpbeginner have a recommendation?
Should I add a plug-in to stop this?
I tried a plugin years ago, but I had to go back and re-format every post.
Any link with tutorial or advice is greatly appreciated!
