Problem: multiline not working (e.g. text area, WYSIWYG)

    A few things not working. I’m trying to get an address put in a text area field in my wp-admin single.php. I tried the text area field and I’ve tried to make it also a WYSIWYG field and both field types give me output in a single line.

    For example, I’ll type in the following in a text field or WYSIWYG.

    555 Elm Street
    Suite 123
    Pleasantville, CA

    The output on the website shows as all in one line:

    555 Elm StreetSuite 123Pleasantville, CA

    I’ve also tried adding in html breaks in the html (text) tab.

    The 2nd problem I am seeing is that when I set it to ‘paragraph’ in the WYSIWYG kitchen sink, the output on the website does not show as though a paragraph style was attached to it. it goes to a default font style.

    To add to this, I noticed when I click on the Visual tab (Visual/Text) on the very top for the content, then update the page, the WYSIWYG sections that I added from the plugin also change from Text to Visual tab.

    I also was able to type in
    in the TEXT tab in the plugin WYSIWYG. However, I want the
    to happen when I click “shift + return” on my keyboard.

    When I click “shift + return” on my keyboard It works on the main WYSIWYG content box at the top of the page.

    WordPress’s implementation of WYSIWYG fields is extremely limited — if I were a coding instructor, they would fail.

    You won’t be able to use keyboard shorcuts for them — that has to with the Javascript bindings and that’s part of what’s a mess in WP’s code. You can convert newlines to line breaks using the do_shortcode tag.

    <?php print_custom_field('my_wysiwyg:do_shortcode');

    This worked! I added the “:do_shortcode” into my php and everything is working as intended!!
    Thanks so much!
