How to remove wrapping p tags from acf wysiwyg field string for later custom excerpt processing
advanced-custom-fields, wordpress, wysiwyg
Solution
I know this is old but maybe it helps someone else.
I had the same issue and using "false, false" as second and third parameter for get_field did the trick.
$myField = get_field('field_name', false, false);
echo '<p class="custom-class">'.$myField.'</p>';
Problem
I have a WYSIWG field with the advanced custom fields plugin. When i query it with : ``` <p class="bran-hn news-excerpt"><?php echo custom_field_excerpt('news_post'); ?></p> ``` the output looks like that: ``` <p class="bran-hn news-excerpt"></p> <p>Worf, It's better than music. It's jazz. Mr. Crusher, ready a collision course with the Borg ship. This is not about revenge. This is about justice. The Federation's gone; the Borg is everywhere! In all trust, [...]</p> <p></p> ``` But i would have expected and want something like: ``` <p class="bran-hn news-excerpt">Worf, It's better than music. It's jazz. Mr. Crusher, ready a collision course with the Borg ship. This is not about revenge. This is about justice. The Federation's gone; the Borg is everywhere! In all trust, [...]</p> ``` i tried to add ``` $text = strip_tags ($text); ``` right before the strip_shortcodes call into the function querying the wysiwyg custom field: ``` function custom_field_excerpt($title) { global $post; $text = get_field($title); if ( '' != $text ) { $text = strip_shortcodes( $text ); $text = apply_filters('the_content', $text); $text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text); $excerpt_length = 35; // 20 words $excerpt_more = apply_filters('excerpt_more', ' ' . '[...]'); $text = wp_trim_words( $text, $excerpt_length, $excerpt_more ); } return apply_filters('the_excerpt', $text); } ``` but also no effect. so is there a way to strip the wrapping p tags while keeping possible tags inside the strings text body like e.g. a tags for links.
