WordPress understands that sometimes, you need to copy and paste text from other platforms. When you do this, bear in mind that the original formatting will be copied as well. So to save your time on resetting everything, you can just click on the \u201ceraser\u201d button to clear all the formatting.<\/p>\n
At the WordPress editor, you want to create a single line break only, and not a paragraph break (a big gap) between two lines. For example, for a postal address, you don\u2019t wish to see something like this:<\/p>\n
140 Paya Lebar Road,<\/p>\n
#08-02 Az @ Paya Lebar,<\/p>\n
409015 Singapore.<\/p>\n
In this case, you can fix it by just clicking Shift + Return<\/strong> to create a line break.<\/p>\n 140 Paya Lebar Road, This also makes adding your organization\u2019s address to your contact page a lot easier.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some might not be aware that WordPress editor has shortcut keys as well. If you are familiar with them, I\u2019m sure they can save you a lot of time. Here are some of the best shortcuts to try out.<\/p>\n Bold:<\/strong>\u00a0Control + B For a full list of WordPress \u201cHotkeys,\u201d click the “Help” button with a question mark on the WordPress editor, and click the \u201cHotkeys\u201d tab.<\/p>\n If you have different writers writing for you site\/blog, you can easily change the author\u2019s name for each of your blog post.<\/p>\n Just go to the Edit screen of the blog post and click \u201cScreen Options\u201d at top right of the page. Next, you will see a dropdown list for you to choose from. Check the \u201cAuthor\u201d box and select your author for the blog post.<\/p>\n Take note: Remember to add all your writers as users so that you can select their names from the list.<\/p>\n
