More Tag not converting

Hi, I’m trying to get the more tag for a WYSIWYG field to convert to a span like on a regular page:

<?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

is converted to this:

<span id="more-36"></span>

But the ACF WYSIWYG field, the more tag just returns as:

<!--more-->

I’ve tried

<?php 
$value = get_field('about');
echo apply_filters('the_content',$value);
?>

but that doesn’t convert it to the span.

Hi @radirot

I’m not sure why it isn’t working, but you can always use acf/load_value and str_replace to change that tags automatically for WYSIWYG custom field. You can use this code to do it:

function my_acf_load_value( $value, $post_id, $field )
{
    // run the_content filter on all textarea values
    $value = apply_filters('the_content',$value); 
    $value = str_replace("<!--more-->", '<span id="more-'. $post_id .'"></span>', $value);

    return $value;
}

add_filter('acf/load_value/type=wysiwyg', 'my_acf_load_value', 10, 3);

I hope this helps.
