How Do I Do "Underline" On A WP Page?

    I have got a Word Press website and are adding a few new pages to it about SEO, I just noticed though that there is no button to make text Underlined, there is Bold, Italics, etc.. buttons, but no Underline one. I also tried changing the editor so i can see the code and added the <u> </u> tags, but it doesn't work and just removes the tags. Can someone let me know why this is? and also How do I get the Underline working? Thanks!

    That is a CSS matter really but you should be able to wrap the word with <u> ..</u> hmm sorry I spaced you tried that already. You have to do that on the text editor, not the visual editor. Does that resolve it?

    I cant do either..
    The "U" isn't there, it is missing, lol.
    and.. Putting the <u></u> tags around it in the Text Editor doesn't work.

    What version of wordpress are you using. i am looking right at it.

    Actually, you should have 2 rows of stuff. Click the last button the editor. On hover it says show/hide kitchen sink and you will see it.

    If it's deleting your <u> tags then you probably have a serious problem with the code of your theme. You probably need to reinstall your theme or try a different one.

    No, all is fine, I just didn't realise that there was some hidden buttons on the Word Press editor, the Underline being one of the hidden buttons. :p
