No space between paragraphs

Hi,
When I am writing a post from the back end and I want to insert empty space, separating two paragraphs, I hit Enter. But when I save the changes they do not appear on my site. So I have to switch from Visual to Text mode and put some <br/> tags where I need to separate the text.
I was wondering if this is a GeneratePress or a WordPress thing? Thanks...:)
Hi there,
This is a WordPress thing.
Instead, switch to the Text editor and add this between your paragraphs:
<p><!-- empty paragraph --></p>
The HTML comment makes sure WordPress doesn't strip the empty tag :)
Thanks, but does that mean I have to switch to Text mode and put that code every time I want to insert empty space and separate two lines of text? Sounds like a lot of manual work. I can't recall having the same issue before on other WordPress sites I have been dealing with. Isn't there a way to make it permanent?
Separating two lines of text should just require you to hit the enter button - that will put them in paragraphs which separates them.
The above code will add an extra space, on top of the initial paragraph spacing.
