Content not showing when using my self-programmed shortcode in a custom subfield

  • I’m using Advanced Custom Fields with a Repeater-Field to display the Content of my page. So I made three fields per Row (Left Content, Middle Content and Right Content). In my Template I get the fields contents with get_sub_field()-function from ACF. But when I fill one of the fields with a shortcode coded by me, no content at all is showing… I already tried to debug but I failed… I used my shortcode before on normal content (the_content()) and it worked fine!

    // EDIT: I figured out that in my template when I var_dump have_rows() AFTER the “if ( have_rows( ‘content-blocks’ ) )” when the while begins… have_rows() is FALSE! When I remove my shortcode in wordpress, its TRUE after the if. I dont’ know why 🙁

    // EDIT 2: When I change the Field-Type from WYSIWYG to Textfield, everything works fine with my shortcode. Everything is displayed as I would expect it… But why isn’t it working with the WYSIWYG Editor…

    My ShortCode:

    function ws_shortcode_cards( $atts, $content = null )
    {
        $categorySlug = '';
    
        extract( shortcode_atts( array(
            'category' => '',
            'id' => ''
        ), $atts ) );
    
        $args = array(
            'post_type' => 'ws_cards',
            'posts_per_page' => 10,
            'category_name' => esc_attr( $category ),
            'page_id' => esc_attr( $id )
        );
    
        $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
    
        $curPageID = get_the_id();
    
        if ( $loop->have_posts() )
        {
            $output = "<ul class=\"uk-grid\" data-uk-grid-match data-uk-margin=\"{cls:'uk-margin-top'}\">\n";
    
            // Check if the page where the shortcode is used is generally password-protected
            global $wpdb;

    get_footer();
    
    ?>

    I already tried variants of using do_shortcode but nothing worked. It must be a problem with my self-coded shortcode, because if I remove the code in it for example and echo just a word like “hello”, it shows the content AND my “hello” … Anything in my function must prevent the code from working with the ACF…
