Your JSON is invalid.
Can you send a screenshot pointing exactly what you need to be scraped...?

Sure heres a Screenshot

As you can see there are multiple P tags

My scraping only manages to grab them all as a RAW text grab off the main container

what i need though is to be able to grab each Paragraph and have them in 1 place in my capture
so ican use them with php , rather than using multiple grabs at each paragraph.

if i try to grab the p tags, all i get is the 1st P tag data, grabbing them all and inputting the output into 1 catch seems impossible, and more complicating is that i want to display the captured data with a php variable - $info - the cvs i also import into a databse and the captured text goes into 1 column called info

im not sure how i can capture all paragraphs from the website amd store them into my sql database and echo them out thru php...

im not sure how i should be capturing the data in webscraper.io to do this..

so far i opted for just grabbing the whole RAW text data from the main container on the website

it is ok, but i have to do alot of cleaning of the text to present it on my webspage.

i am thinking maybe capture them as a group and explode them using php.

But when i capture the P tag as a group - i end up with these to deal with "},{" in my explode function, which is not appropriate. i would rather only have to deal with maybe a , between each paragraph, then i can explode them.

you can try this sitemap, but it's not an ideal..... the structure of the page is a bit abnormal.. there not only

but also

    or
    .... you can grab a parent
    which includes all description inside (div[id*="post"] div.entry-content)

    {"_id":"vstorrent","startUrl":["https://vstorrent.org/page/[1-2]"],"selectors":[{"id":"link","linkType":"linkFromHref","multiple":true,"parentSelectors":["_root"],"selector":".entry-title a","type":"SelectorLink"},{"extractAttribute":"","id":"description","parentSelectors":["link"],"selector":"div[id*=\"post\"] div.entry-content p","type":"SelectorGroup"}]}
