I’m having this same problem even though i use get_field.
Im using elegantthemes theme and have a learn_more shortcode run if user types details in acf text area field. The content inside act text area field is then passed in to learn_more shortcode but it’s missing those automatic <br> line breaks.
Here is my php
<?php
$onko_lisatietoja = get_field(‘lisatiedot’);
if($onko_lisatietoja!=”){ ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[learn_more caption=”Lisätietoja”]’.get_field(“lisatiedot”).'[/learn_more]’); ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php } ?>
