Content not wrapped in the container paragraph

Hi all!

I’ve got a problema with the frontend output of a Wysiwyg field.

Here’s my code:

<p class="paragraph-container">
<?php echo get_field('myfield', false, true); ?>
</p>

I would expect an output like:

<p class="paragraph-container">
<p> First line of my content</p>
<p> Second line of my content </p>
</p>

Instead I get:

<p class="paragraph-container"></p>
<p> First line of my content</p>
<p> Second line of my content </p>

Any hint?

Thanks in advance!

Are you seeing this the inspector or the actual source code of the page?

<p> elements cannot be nested, so you can’t use a paragraph as a container for other paragraphs. The browser assumes a </p> before the next open <p>.

You need to use a div or some other type of block element as your container.

Oooooops!

Sorry, this is an EPIC FAIL from me, I always forget that <p> aren’t nestable….

Thanks!
