Use this to force line breaks into your posts and pages. It is simple. [br] will add a line break. It won’t be filtered out by TinyMCE.
There are no attributes. Not much else to see here. I couldn’t find a plugin that did this anywhere. Thought that was odd.
Example time!
If your text editor content looks like this:
<pre><code>Hello this is my 
[br]
example!
</code></pre>
The HTML will end up:
<pre><code>Hello this is my
 
example!
</code></pre>
Because the default styling of a paragraph tag adds an area of white space below it this may result in more of a break than you wanted. Solution:
<pre><code>Hello this is my [br] example!
</code></pre>
Which results in the following HTML:
<pre><code>Hello this is my example!
</code></pre>

PS Disable Auto Formatting

This plugin works perfectly for removing auto-formatting and faux paragraphs. The plugin hasn't been updating in a long time and since WordPress version 4.3 it breaks the toggle between visual and text views in the WYSIWYG. It seems the author is no longer responsive.



Great plugin but needs updating

Stops the automatic forming and the HTML tag removal in the html mode of WordPress, and generates a natural paragraph and changing line.
