How to Solve the Annoying Line Break Problem in WordPress

kamran — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 02:57:28 +0000

You might have noticed while creating a post in WordPress that it strips out all the additional line breaks that you create. This can be very annoying.

At first I thought it was a theme problem, so I switched to the default theme, added the line breaks again and updated the post. But it turns out, WordPress still manages to strip out the line breaks.

A quick Google search showed me that I was not the only one facing this problem. There were several threads in the official wordpress forum about this issue. So, I decided to share the solution that I arrived at.

By default, the TinyMCE editor that WordPress uses is configured to strip out the extra break
tags and paragraph

tags. To solve this problem, all you need to do is turn this feature off in the TinyMCE editor that WordPress uses. Unfortunately, you cannot modify the TinyMCE settings of WordPress. That’s where TinyMCE Advanced comes in. Follow the steps below to solve this annoying problem:

Install TinyMCE Advanced
Go to Dashboard >> Settings >> TinyMCE Advanced
Towards the bottom of this settings page, you will see “Advanced Options“. Check the box next to “Stop removing the
and
tags when saving…”
Click the “Save Changes” button

That’s it. You should be able to easily add as many line breaks as you wish without having them stripped off by WordPress

What a pleasant surprise: My Name in Niche blueprint 2.0 leaderboard

Niche blueprint 2.0 launched in 11th January 2010, and I participated in its promotion. Although I have been doing affiliate marketing for a long time, this is the first time I tried it in the Internet marketing niche. What was keeping me from doing affiliate marketing in Internet marketing niche was the false assumption that the competition was too stiff, and that you need a big list for getting considerable sales. But the launch of Niche blueprint 2.0 proved me wrong.

Apart from the handsome commission and some recognition in the Internet marketing community, there is another thing that I got from this launch. And that is experience. I learned several thing from this launch and I am going to share them with you in this post:

Don’t let the fierce competition scare you. Just apply the basic Internet marketing knowledge like getting a lot of backlinks, targeting proper keywords etc and you will do fine
Don’t forget to target product name review. I was so busy targeting [Niche blueprint 2.0 review] and [Niche Blueprint review] that I forgot to target [Niche Blueprint] and [Niche Blueprint 2.0] and suffered from poor traffic consequently.
Start promoting the launch at least 3 weeks before the launch. I decided to promote it just 10 days prior to the launch and as a result I couldn’t get good enough ranking on the day of the launch
Don’t think that you cannot make any money if you dont have a big list or an established blog. You can make many sales just by creating a one page landing page and direct traffic to it.
Create a relevant bonus. Don’t think that just because you wrote an excellent review, people will buy from you. Also don’t just give a lot of PLR material as bonus. It works but not as well as unique relevant bonus.

I am hoping to promote more Internet marketing product launches soon. Although they are short term income compared to promoting clickbank products in other niches, they are really cool to give you an instant spike in income.

What do you think? Is it wise to promote short-term products like most internet marketing products? Let me know in the comments below.

Back from a week long trip in Al Ain

Al Ain is colder than Dubai and more peaceful. But is a little backwards in technology and infrastructure. It has a lot of tourist attractions and most of these are natural attractions. If you live in the UAE and haven’t visited Al Ain, then you must. It will completely refresh you, especially if you are having a stressful life.

I Just Love Imacro

If you dont know what imacro is, you might want to check it out. It’s a firefox addon that can automate a lot of IM work that is usually done manually.

You can download it from here and read the documentation here

My next step is learning php, as that will give me even more automation power. Although I have a background in programming with knowledge of C , Visual Basic, Matlab and some other client side programming, php is the first server side programming I wish to learn and I hope its easy.
