[Resolved] WYSIWYG post field, line breaks missing

Hello!

I cannot figure out why, but line breaks that were inserted into WYSIWYG post fields are being ignored / erased. Interesting thing is, that the content displays correctly in one location (with breaks), and incorrectly (without breaks) in others on the same page / template. Both views are set the exact same way?

Thanks!

Hi, it depends on several factors that vary by theme and can be affected by other 3rd-party plugins. You can try adding suppress_filters="true" to the WYSIWYG field shortcode:

You can also try wrapping the WYSIWYG field in a wpv-autop shortcode:

Then you can try doing both at the same time. If none of these seems to work, I'll be glad to take a closer look.

Unfortunately even with both of these methods in play, if any edit is done to the post (can be other fields in the post and not the problem field), the line breaks are removed.

May I log in to see the problem? Let me know where I can find the WYSIWYG field.

I made an adjustment in the Campus View. I added the auto paragraph shortcode and removed the suppress_filters attribute:

<div class="text-white center">[wpv-autop][types field='campus-service-times'][/types][/wpv-autop]</div>

Now the line breaks in the campus service time field are respected on the front-end of the site in both places. I edited the Campus and changed some text, and the line breaks seem to be preserved. Can you confirm?
