So I'm trying to auto add paragraphs to my custom field using wpautop but the filter I am using only shows the first letter of the first paragraph (Twice for some reason).
If anyone could help it would be a huge relief, it's been driving me crazy
$my_meta = get_post_meta($post->ID,'welcome_message',TRUE);
echo $my_meta['name'];
echo wpautop( $my_meta['description'], 1 );I've been adding it into the page I want the custom field to appear on, am I doing that wrong perhaps?

Is $my_meta an array?
for testing try:
echo '<pre>';
print_r($my_meta);
echo '</pre>';You can also use apply_filters to add paragraphs:
apply_filters('the_content',$my_meta);

$my_meta is the array to show my custom field of "welcome_message" I think.
Sorry, I don't have a vast knowledge of bare bones PHP.
Where would I apply the filter? Directly onto the code for my custom field?

What where the values when you tested the array with the code above?
If the third parameter of get_post_meta is set to true then the function will return a single result, as a string.
Do you have three different custom fields? (welcome_message, name, description).
Where would I apply the filter?
Wherever you want it, but it must be a string.
// in a variable
$var = apply_filters('the_content',$my_meta);
// echo
echo apply_filters('the_content',$my_meta);

Nothing came up with I rested the array.
Do you have three different custom fields? (welcome_message, name, description).
No, I only have "welcome_message"

No, I only have "welcome_message"
On what theme template file are you using this?
And are you using this inside the loop?
Do posts have the "welcome_message" custom field?
This inside the loop should work if posts have that custom field
$my_meta = get_post_meta($post->ID,'welcome_message',TRUE);
echo apply_filters('the_content',$my_meta);

That worked perfectly, thank you so much. You've spared me a lot of stress
