I have a custom field called "full-description" that is a WYSIWYG field. I need to have paragraphs so I added the following code modified from the example provided here: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/no-paragraphs-in-text-from-the-wysiwyg-editor/

/* @Recreate the default filters on the_content
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
add_filter( 'meta_content', 'wptexturize'        );
add_filter( 'meta_content', 'convert_smilies'    );
add_filter( 'meta_content', 'convert_chars'      );
add_filter( 'meta_content', 'wpautop'            );
add_filter( 'meta_content', 'shortcode_unautop'  );
add_filter( 'meta_content', 'prepend_attachment' );
 
function my_meta_func( $atts ) {
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'field' => 'full-description',
), $atts ) );
$text = get_post_meta($post->ID, $field, true);
return apply_filters('meta_content',$text);
}
add_shortcode('my-meta', 'my_meta_func');

When I add the shortcode [my-meta field="full-description"] I get no results.

Hi Ian,

I'm not sure what you mean by you need to have paragraphs as the WYSIWYG field should already add using an automatic paragraph.

It could be that you have auto paragraphs disabled on your content template. If so please enable auto paragraphs. See Screenshot.

Thanks,
Shane

OK, I usually turn that off in order to avoid unwanted auto paragraphs.
