Product descriptions next to each other instead of neatly arranged

[0108daniel]

The products on my site have product descriptions.
These are neatly arranged below each other.
However, when I look at the product description on my site, all the text is displayed one after the other instead of neatly arranged as in the WooCommerce product description.

How is this possible, and how do I ensure that they are displayed below each other?
In the attachment are 2 screeneshots.
Thank you already for the help

Why your line breaks disappear on the product page

What you’re seeing usually happens when the product description is being output without WordPress’ normal formatting filters. In the editor, each “new line” is stored as a line break in the content, but on the front-end WordPress normally runs the text through the_content / wpautop which converts those line breaks into proper HTML paragraphs (

<p>

) and breaks (

<br>

). If Elementor (or your theme) is rendering the description via a custom widget/template and it uses something like

get_the_content()

or

post_content

directly, the formatting won’t be applied and everything can appear as one long block.

What to check in Elementor

• Edit your Single Product template in Elementor.
• Make sure you’re using the Product Content widget (or WooCommerce “Product Description/Content” widget),not a plain Text Editor widget with a dynamic tag.
• If you used a dynamic tag, switch it to the dedicated Woo widget so Elementor applies the right filters.

If you need a code fix (backup first)
If your theme is overriding Woo templates, check:

yourtheme/woocommerce/single-product/tabs/description.php

It should output:

the_content();

Not

echo get_the_content();

.

If you can’t change the template easily, you can force formatting via a small snippet in

functions.php

(child theme) or Code Snippets plugin:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_short_description', 'wpautop' );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_get_description', 'wpautop' );

Test this on one product first (staging site if possible),since some page builder content can end up with double paragraphs if it’s already formatted. If you share the URL and tell me whether you’re using an Elementor Single Product template, I can point to the exact widget/template causing it.

This AI answer didn't work.
I think I describe the problem clearly.
Some other product descriptions are fine.

When looking at the text in the editor, switch to code editor and paste the contents of it, it could be that there isn't any formating or there maybe too much formatting. This normally happens if you copy and paste text from somewhere else. And the containers, divs, spans, etc all get copied into the underlaying code.

I write that text for myself.
Some text have this problem, other text is good underneath each other.
Tried it in code editor, but that didn't make any difference.
I always use the same method to put text in.

It's either the text has html you're not aware of, or something above it hasnt got a closing bracket and is messing with the styling. Hard to say without looking at a few different pages to compare them.

Feel free to post links to a few of the pages, some with the problem, some without.

If you can't post links yet, just cut off the http and www bits , it should let you.

I can not post a link because I get a warning that I have only 3 posts.
So I tried it different.
You can visit my site Model-kits .nl
Add this after it the url:

This is a product that I place yesterday on my webshop:
product/meng-19-bmw-m-1000-rr-pre-colored-edition-pre-order/

This is a older product with the text next to each other:
product/ixo-collections-18-bmw-m3-e30-pre-order/

If you need more please let me know.

So its actually the newer version that you have the additional list code

So you have this on the older product, which is basically just plain text

Both products are made with the plane text.
I manually add the text without copy/paste.
So I don't know why elementor change the layout text next to each other instead of underneath.

 

[Community]

Well this code

<p data-start="68" data-end="291">

In your old product, doesnt look like Elementor to me, that looks like its been pasted from a word doc or another source which maybe you wrote it on originally , and its copied the document styling

 

[0108daniel]

I tried it with a old product and make the new text.
I tried it in 'visual' and in 'code'
Both didn't work.
Everything is next to each other instead underneath.

Remove the space between the dot and 'nl' to see the product.
Can not post links because of the limit.
