[Resolved] CPT WYSIWYG editor sometimes drops the paragraph tags

I have created a CPT Index with multiple fields (WYSIWYG, Number, Single Line, ...). All WYSIWYG fields output the content perfectly, including the paragraphs, except for this "index-description" field, where the paragraphs are missing.

Both fields use the same Field Type and are programmed the same way in the Template.

Hello,

It seems there are other plugins in your website changing the content of WYSIWYG field, I suggest you try to modify the WYSIWYG shortcode, add attribute suppress_filters="true", for example:
[types field="my-wysiwyg" suppress_filters="true"][/types]

And test again.

See our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/#wysiwyg
suppress_filters:
'true' | 'false' (default)
If suppress_filters=’true’, all third party (non WordPress) filters hooked into the_content filter will be removed,

Hi,
I have modified the shortcode but it did not fix the problem. But honestly I did not think it would, as the problem is not visible in all WYSIWYG post fields.
The post type of the "Belgium" field is exactly the same as the "What" field and yet one displays the paragraphs and the other doesn't.
Which other plugins are you talking about? Also, why would another plugin only target one of my WYSIWYG fields and not the others?

Please try this:

1) make sure you are using the latest version of Toolset plugins, you can download them here:
https://toolset.com/account/downloads/

2) deactivate other plugins, and switch to wordpress default theme 2017, and test again

3) If the problem still persists, please provide database dump file(ZIP file) of your website, also point out the problem page URL and view URL, I need to test and debug it in my localhost, thanks

Thanks for the details, I am downloading the file, will update here if there is anything found

Thanks for the details, I can duplicate the same problem, it occurs only in the first custom WYSIWYG field shortcode, and I have escalated it.
Currently, you can wrap the first WYSIWYG within a P tag, for example:

<p>
[types field='index-description' suppress_filters="true"][/types]
</p>

Here is feedback from our 2nd tier supporters, it is a known issue, please try the workaround here:
https://toolset.com/errata/paragraph-tag-is-stripped-in-wysiwyg-loop-items-and-page-builders-generated-content/

You just need to modify the codes as below:

[wpv-autop][types field='index-description' suppress_filters="true"][/types][/wpv-autop]

Thank you for the workaround, but the errata page says it was resolved in Views 2.5.2., we are using 2.6.3. and the problem is still present.

[Luo Yang]

Yes, it still persists in the latest version of Views plugin 2.6.3, and it is still in our to-do list, and is marked as a bug.

[kristofG]

thanks for the update, have a nice day.

[Luo Yang]

You are welcome.

This will not be fixed, and please use the workaround of above erratum.
