Unlike using most word processor programs, WordPress doesn't just let you change the line spacing in an easy way. However, you can do it, with the right instructions. In this WordPress tutorial, we will show you how to change the line spacing from single to double and vice versa. 

<h2>How to Add Double Line Spacing to Your WordPress Blog</h2>

The visual editor already looks like it has double line spacing by default. When you press the enter key and add a line break, it will assume you want to start a new paragraph. WordPress will add a double line space, in most themes. 

Adding double line spacing in WordPress is the easiest because it happens by default. Just press enter in the visual editor and you will get double line spacing, with most good themes.

If you don't see double line spacing clearly, it could be your theme. Some themes don't have this coded in as a default, but it's very rare to find a theme that doesn't use double line spacing as a default in WordPress. 

<h2>How to Add Single Line Spacing in WordPress</h2>

The harder thing to do is adding single line spacing, but it's not super difficult. Anybody can easily do it, if they know how. This comes in handy for things like addresses or when you want to create a list without bullet points.

If you need to use single line spacing, you can do so by pressing the SHIFT + ENTER keys at the end of the line. This will give you a single line space perfect for adding an address or a list. 

You can also adjust the line spacing height with a little coding in your CSS file. However, this isn't recommended for beginners and usually isn't necessary. The standard double and single line spacing will be all most beginners will need for their WordPress blog. 

Now you know the easiest way to use single and double line spacing in WordPress. Whether you just want to make your content easier to read or you need to add an address, you can use this method to create the right spacing on your WordPress blog.
