Problem:
The user is using a plugin to edit a taxonomy description in a WYSIWYG editor. The result on the frontend is not wrapped in paragraphs(

tags).

Solution:
WordPress, by default, does not support a classic editor for the description of a custom taxonomy term. I think that you are using a plugin that converts the default textarea to a classic editor for the taxonomy description.

The classic editor does not actually save the content with

tags. Themes use WordPress function to convert double return lines into a paragraph using the function wpauto

Toolset shortcode does not use the function to wrap paragraphs in

tags. We will need a custom shortcode that will do that for us. As this is intended for the archive page, we can use WordPress function term_description that do wrap paragraphs into

tags.
We can build a shortcode with custom code in the theme functions.php file:

function term_description_with_paragraphs() {
    return term_description();
}
add_shortcode( 'term_description_with_p', 'term_description_with_paragraphs' );

Then use the shortcode [term_description_with_p] instead of [wpv-taxonomy-description].
