Hi @elliotcondon,

There is an issue with the latest update of ACF (5.0.1) and PHP Markdown—the markdown now fails to parse fields supplied to it by ACF.

Any ideas?

All the best,

Rob

I had the same problem, to solved I added the plugin: Markdown Extra

And add-on: ACF WordPress Wysiwyg Field

In functions.php I added:

// style editor
remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wptexturize' );
remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop' );
remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wptexturize' );
remove_filter( 'acf_the_content', 'wpautop' );
remove_filter( 'acf_the_content', 'wptexturize' );

// markdown support
add_filter( 'the_content', 'Markdown' );
add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'Markdown' );
add_filter( 'acf_the_content', 'Markdown' );

The plugin Typewrite also work for me only offline.
