Hello,

I have read thread after thread and still not sure what this automatically add paragraphs setting is for. What are the benefits or drawbacks for this setting? Can you please break it down in layman’s terms. Thanks!

    Hi Multimastery,

    The advantage is that it runs (or rather, only runs as that’s all it does) wpautop against the widget content which basically means that it prevents the need for you to manually add that formatting. This is only really apparent in the text widget.

    The drawbacks is it can sometimes cause issues with shortcodes depending on how the developer outputs the resulting shortcode functionality. Also, depending on how often you add returns (empty lines) you may unintentionally add a lot of HTML to your page as every line is a paragraph.

    I personally enable it wherever possible for the convenience but I can also totally understand why you wouldn’t want to use it.
