We are aware that something is adding the <br> tags while customizing the notifications and we will consider finding the solution for the future updates.
This is on the top of our priority list and we will give our best to find the solution as soon as possible. I will contact you after the update if the solution is included so you can know to update the plugin.
yes its working correctly now. Can you let me know what you done so i can correct it as i have a couple of other sites with amelia that has the same issue
In wp_options DB table, row with option_name "amelia_settings", we have added new JSON value named breakReplacement, and it should have this value: "breakReplacement":"<div style='height: 0.1rem'><\/div>"
In order to remove the spacing between paragraphs, you can edit this in your database from recently. Please open your database, find and open the wp_options table and find the option name amelia_settings there. You need to edit it. You will see a setting notifications in it. You need to set the value <div style=‘height: 0.1rem’><\/div> for the ‘’ breakReplacement’' parameter . Like here :
This is still a problem, and its not specific to just our website, i just done a test in your demo website, and if any of the notifications are edited then a double spacing is applied to that email from then on. and basically the formatting of the email looks completely awful
can you make this a permanent fix, as if its happening on your demo sites then it must be happening for everyone, its not just a problem of a few
We didn't want to change this for all users because we were afraid that some users would not like it. However, I have checked this with our team and we will include a permanent solution in the next version.
thats strange, why would users not want it working properly? e.g. why would they not want it displaying in the end users email as its displaying in the admin area. seems bizarre to add double spacing everywhere? i cant understand why anyone would want that
anyway, if you can do a fix in the next update that would be great
Yes, we have released a new update, but we could not fix and test all planned bugs so we decided to leave this for the next version, because we wanted to be sure that everything is working properly.
If I am not wrong you have a solution made by our team that is in the database, and is not overridden by an update so your email notifications are working properly?
I am having some trouble with the email notifications having double spacing and my emails look absolutely terrible!
I have tried using SHIFT + ENT and it didn't work
I have also tried editing the wp_options> amelia settings to notifications": { "breakReplacement": "<div style="height: 0.1rem"></div>"}
Please can someone help me fix this problem otherwise I might have to go with another plugin.
It's also rather concerning that this problem has been brought up by numerous users in the past and this is still something that is happening.... do you guys even update this plugin still, or even provide sufficient support?
Sorry to hear that you have an issue with our plugin.
As we can see you have open a separate ticket for this issue and our support manager has already answered it.
Spacing was resolved in 4.0 version as shown in our official changelog. We didn't provide a solution in the ticket since our developers created an update and resolved this issue.
I just tested the notifications, but I couldn't replicate the issue with double spacing. Here's the template:
And here's how the email arrives:
There's no double spacing, as far as I can see here.
Mike, since this is your ticket, can you please provide me with a temporary wp-admin user (administrator) in a PRIVATE response, so I can check your website.
Darryn, since you have another ticket open, would you please be able to do the same there?
I did more testing, and it seems that (with the new fix, that's included in 4.0) the code added in wp_options is overwriting the fix:
"<div style="height: 0.1rem"></div>"
To be more clear:
1. Version 4.1 with this code in place shows like this:
2. Version 4.1 with this code removed shows like this:
As you can see, the difference is quite big, so I'll ask you both to go to wp_options, under "option_name" column search for the term "amelia_settings". That will return only one row, so you need to edit it, and in the "option_value" column search for "breakReplacement". Change it to look like this:
"notifications": {
"breakReplacement": ""
},
So, leave empty quotes, save, and save the notifications again. When you send a test notification, the spacing issue should be resolved.
I have just tried this fix and it seems to have worked. Thank you.
However, I have noticed though when changing this setting in the database it resets ALL my Amelia settings i.e SMTP settings, business information (pretty much ALL options on the settings page) - you might just want to give users a heads up about that.
Will this fix be included in all future updates/releases or will this be something that I need to update myself each time?
Nothing changed for me when I removed that from the quotes, so you maybe removed additional strings in the cell?
The fix is included in the plugin, and the code you entered was a temporary solution, provided months before the fix was released:
"<div style="height: 0.1rem"></div>"
It used to fix the issue with the spacing before the fix was included, but now it is no longer necessary, so it caused the actual issue on your end.
This is a database entry, so once removed - it will not be written back in, unless you do it manually. From now on, all spaces will be rendered correctly.
this still does not work, i just installed the latest version on a site, and then edited the email and once again its putting double spacing everywhere
this is just unbelievable, seriously you know this is an issue and its been going on for years?
Sorry to hear you're still having an issue, but this issue is related to the custom fix that you applied in the database. Plugin's updates do not alter existing database entries, they can only add new ones.
You will need to edit the database entry, as instructed in my previous responses, remove the temporary fix:
"<div style="height: 0.1rem"></div>"
And after that, the plugin will work correctly. You can see that Darryn responded that doing this resolved the issue.
If you're not sure how to do this, or you're reluctant to do it because it may mess up Amelia's settings, please provide me with a temporary wp-admin user (administrator), and database access credentials (phpMyAdmin), and I'll gladly do it for you. Just make sure to enable the PRIVATE response, as this is a public ticket.
I saw that you installed the plugin on the site, quote:
I just installed the latest version on a site, and then edited the email and once again its putting double spacing everywhere
I apologize, as I did not understand that this is a whole new website installation, so I assumed you deleted Amelia and installed it again on a new website.
I will gladly take a look at this new website, and investigate what the issue is, if you're willing to share database and wp-admin (administrator) credentials with me in a PRIVATE response.
Since we can't replicate the issue locally, or any of our development, and staging websites, along with reports from other users that the fix works fine - without remote access I can't say what's happening on your end.
If I save any of the emails, without even making changes it puts huge spacing between the text... although in the editor its not displaying that.
see the 2 screenshots, one is the original when i send a test... the second one is simply another test after clicking the save button on the email...
so if i customise any of the emails it puts huge double spacing everywhere

Is there a temporary fix, as the confirmation emails to our clients look dreadful
if any of the email are edited it then adds <p> </p> everywhere, and this is whats causing all the line spacing issues....
on the unedited default emails there is no <p> </p>
Hi mike,
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Can you please tell me do you edit those emails with Enter button? did you try to edit them with Shift+Enter buttons?
