Hey John!

Thanks for the reply!

Sure, here’s my acf/save_post code:

function my_post_field_array_save($post_id) {
	if( have_rows('my_repeater',$post_id) ): 
		while ( have_rows('my_repeater',$post_id) ) : the_row();
			remove_filter('acf_the_content', 'wpautop');
			// remove_filter('acf_the_content', 'do_shortcode'); Could I do something like this?
			$my_repeater_arr['my_repeater_wysiwyg'] = htmlentities(get_sub_field('my_repeater_wysiwyg',$post_id));
			add_filter('acf_the_content', 'wpautop');
		endwhile;
		update_post_meta($post_id,'my_repeater_meta',$my_repeater_arr);
	endif;
};
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_post_field_array_save', 20);

Here’s the actual (raw) WYSIWYG content:

[site_url]
<a href="[site_url]">URL</a>

Here’s the array (no post/save):

array(1) {
  ["my_repeater_wysiwyg"]=>
  string(62) "[site_url]
<a href="[site_url]">URL</a>"
}

Here’s the array after (i.e. serialized in the post_meta field…using the pastebin below because this ACF forum converts my HTML entities): http://pastebin.com/iZqffdq1

Thanks in advance!
