I was really searching here for a solution for this but I couldn’t find anything.
Problem:
br and/or br / tags which I put into my content on the backend were just not showing up on the frontend. No matter what I did – enter+shift in the visual or insert the tags manually in the html editor – I tried several things but nothing worked. Interesting fact: on the page I am working have already been a few br’s which are working without any problems, so I looked through the code if there was something but I still couldn’t find anything.
I found an acceptable solution for this: Simple Breaks. This plugin gives me the possibility to insert br tags by writing the shortcode “[br]”. I’m kinda fine with that.
Still I truely want to ask you if you have similiar problems or if there is any solution to this! It is known that WP has it’s problems with br’s and p’s so I guess the users just have to go with it.

More information:
- I already unchecked “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” in Admin > Settings > Writing. (thanks to PoseLab)
- I installed TinyMCE Advanced and checked “Stop removing the
and
tags when saving and show them in the HTML editor”
May be you have to check the template, its possibile that it may have:
remove_filter('the_content','wpautop');or any other function that has to do withthe_contentandstrip_tagsusally they are located in theme functions.phpYou have to uncheck the field “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” in Admin > Settings > Writing
