最近、ユーザーからWordPressで改行を追加したり、ブロック間の行間を調整する方法はないかと尋ねられました。
たいていのワープロでは、Enterキーを数回押すだけで、簡単に空白行を追加することができます。また、設定オプションから段落の後にダブルスペース行を作成することもできます。しかし、WordPressのブロックエディターにはそのようなボタンはありません。
この投稿では、WordPressで簡単に改行を追加する方法を紹介します。
始める前に、行間は使用しているWordPressテーマによってコントロールされることを知っておくことが重要です。
ブロックエディターでブロック間にスペースを追加する方法を紹介し、その結果に満足できない場合は、テーマの行間を変更する方法を説明します。
動画チュートリアル
動画が気に入らなかったり、もっと説明が必要な場合は、このまま読み進めてください。
ブロック間に二重線スペースを追加する
Windowsの場合はEnterキー、Macの場合はReturnキーを押して改行すると、WordPressはそれを新しい段落とみなします。
これは、あなたのテーマがそのためのスタイルを持っている（すべての良いWordPressテーマがそうである）限り、自動的にダブル行スペースを追加することを意味します。
コンテンツエディターに移動し、行の後にEnterキーまたはReturnキーを押し、次の行に別の何かを入力するだけです。
そうするだけで、テーマのスタイリングに基づき、段落間の区別が明確になるはずだ。
個別行スペースの追加
さて、住所のようなものを書く場合、WordPressサイトではダブルスペースではなく、個別スペースにしたいだろう。
この場合、WindowsではSHIFT + ENTERキー、MacではSHIFT + RETURNキーを押す必要があります。
これはWordPressに、既存の段落の中で改行したいことを伝えます。したがって、個別行間と二重行間が必要になります。
線の高さと間隔の変更
エディターで適切な行間を追加しても、テーマでは思い通りに表示されないことがある。
解決する方法は2つある：
- プラグインを使う（簡単な方法）
- 手動によるCSSコード（より高度なもの）
まずは簡単な方法を見てみよう。
プラグインを使って行間を追加する
コードを学ぶことなくテーマにスタイルの変更を加えたい場合は、CSS Heroのようなプラグインを使うのが一番です。
CSS Heroを使えば、コードを知らなくてもWordPressサイトのデザインを簡単に変更できます。
詳しくはCSSヒーローのレビューをご覧ください。
サイドバーの移動やフッターの追加など、テーマに大きな変更を加えたい場合は、ドラッグ＆ドロップのページビルダー・プラグインの方が良い設定だろう。ページビルダー・プラグインを使えば、WordPressでフォントの色を変えたり、改行を追加したりといった小さな調整もできる。
プラグインを使いたくない、あるいは、たったこれだけの変更が必要だとお考えですか？それなら、手動CSSコード設定が最適かもしれません。
CSSコードで段落間隔を手動で変更する
プラグインを使わずに手動で改行を追加するには、テーマにCSSを追加する必要がある。
CSSは基本的に、Microsoft Wordの書式設定機能のようなものです。ボタンをクリックする代わりに、プレーンなCSSコードを書くことになる。初心者が思っているほど怖いものではありません。指示に従うだけなら、CSSはとても簡単に理解できます。
テーマにカスタムCSSを追加するには、外観 ” カスタマイズページにアクセスする必要があります。WordPressテーマカスタマイザーが起動しますので、左の列から「Additional CSS」タブをクリックしてください。
これらのメニューオプションが表示されない場合は、ブロックテーマを使用している可能性があります。WordPress管理画面のテーマカスタマイザーが表示されない場合の対処方法の投稿をご覧ください。
カスタムCSSボックスに、以下のCSSコードを追加する必要があります：
.post p{line-height: 1.5em;}
上に示したCSSルールは、段落コンテンツの行間を1.5emに変更します。emはタイポグラフィの幅の単位です。
.postクラスを使用していますが、これはWordPressがすべての投稿のコンテンツエリアに自動的に追加するもので、投稿だけに影響し、他の場所で使用されている段落には影響しません。
さて、これは個別スペーシングの間隔を変えるだけである。
WordPressで段落の間隔を変えたい（つまりダブルスペースにしたい）場合は、パディングを追加する必要がある。
.post p {
line-height: 1.5em;
padding-bottom: 15px;
}
ご自由に数字を調整し、HTMLでダブルスペースを追加してください。
また、WPCodeプラグインを使用してサイトにカスタマイザーCSSを追加することができます。このプラグインを使えば、サイトへのコードの挿入や管理がとても簡単になります。
詳しくは、WordPressサイトにカスタムCSSを追加する方法をご覧ください。

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?

You would want to check with the tool being used to send the notification for the styling for fixing that issue.

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
Due to the limitations of mobile, you would likely need to use the CSS method.

WPBeginner Support
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.

I did not work for me. Any reasons it would not work?
WPBeginner Support
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

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
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

I would like to modifying the Line height and Spacing. However there is no ‘editor’ icon ( Appearance » Editor) from theme’s CSS file.
So, what can I do?

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
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.

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
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.

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
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!

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
Thanks so much! Life saver!

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

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
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?

Hi,
This worked for me but the CSS doesn’t do anything in my page…

Same thing happened to me. Is there an updated code to insert?
A. Lougheed
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!
