 * Hi atelierstudios,
 * Are you using the get_field or the_field functions?

 * No sorry maybe I haven’t fully read the documentation. I am just using the standard
   WordPress get_post_meta function <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, “name_of_custom_field”,
   true); ?>. I did notice that when I add the content via the Advanced Custom Fields
   WYSIWYG editor it adds a standard custom field which doesn’t contain any p or
   br tags, all other formatting seems to be included though?

 * Ok to confirm I have used the the_field method and the paragraphs now appear…
   great thanks for your help.
