Hi.
I am using Advanced Custom Fields to display Customer Feedback in a Custom Post Type through a WYSIWYG editor. Unfortunately all paragraphs are merged and no formatting is displayed on the front end.
My Custom Post Type has a custom layout through an element. In the element I am trying to display the respective customer feedback via ACF.
Thanks in advance!
Customer Support
Hi there,
are you using GenerateBlocks Pro ? As that has ACF Support for its Dynamic data
No, only free GenerateBlocks version, unfortunately.
Ok, so instead you would need to create a Shortcode using a PHP Snippet like this:
add_shortcode('customer_feedback', function(){ ob_start(); if( get_field('your_custom_field_name') ): the_field('your_custom_field_name'); endif; return ob_get_clean(); });Change the
your_custom_field_nameto match yours.
Then you can use the shortcode[customer_feedback]in your element content.As always great support. Works like a charm!
Thank you!
Glad to hear that!
Hello
While trying to integrate ACF fields of type Wysiwyg in a GeneratePress content Template (GP Element of type Block), I meet the same problem as Björn.
The paragraphs are not rendered (other html tags are).I tried the method of creating a shortcode.
But it doesn’t work for me.Can you help me?

Thanks
Edit:
Well, Everything went back to normal with the Pro version of GenerateBlocks that I intended to buy anyway.Sorry for the untimely relaunch of this topic.
Best regards
Hi there,
this is more a consequence of either ACF, WordPress or the TinyMCE editor. So debugging that can be a pain.
In ACF
the_fieldfunction has 2 additional params:https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/the_field/
Including the
$formatwhich says whether or not to show the HTML format.Try setting that param to true in the shortcode eg.:
add_shortcode('show_wysiwyg', function(){ ob_start(); if( get_field('your_field') ): the_field('your_field', false, true ); endif; return ob_get_clean(); });If that doesn’t work then do you have the TinyMCE plugin installed as that may be interfering with what it returns?
Glad to hear that it is working !!
