How to Change Line Spacing in WordPress

Usually, when you press the enter or return button on your keyboard WordPress automatically adds a double space and starts a new paragraph.

Now if you want to have a single line spacing just press Shift+Enter, it will give a single line break instead of a paragraph break.

The Spacer Block

If you want to add more space between two paragraphs you can use the Spacer block. Simply click on the plus (+) sign between the blocks, search for spacer and click on it to insert the block.

It adds a 100px space by default. You can increase or decrease the space by dragging it or from the right-hand side options panel.

And you are done.

And Other Blocks

Now that should be able to get the job done, but if you want something extra, you can use the separator or divider block; and for that, you will need a good plugin. My top pick is Ultimate Blocks, install and activate the plugin from your WordPress Dashboard and just go for their Separator or Divider block, both are just as amazing.
