Textarea line breaks

How are you getting the value?
Are you filtering it somehow?
Can you please post the code you’re using to echo the textarea’s contents in your theme/plugin?

Hi Aristeides,

Thanks for getting back to me. I’m currently using the standard way (I think) of calling the custom value.

Setting my textarea field like so

$fields[] = array(
‘type’ => ‘textarea’,
‘settings’ => ‘footer_site_info’,
‘label’ => __( ‘Footer Site Info’, ‘troubleshoota’ ),
‘section’ => ‘footer_general’,
‘default’ => ”,
‘priority’ => 20
);

Calling the field like so:

<?php echo get_theme_mod( ‘footer_site_info’, ” ); ?>

Cheers

Try this:
<?php echo html_entity_decode( get_theme_mod( 'footer_site_info', '' ) ); ?>

Thanks for taking the time to look into this. Unfortunately still not recognising line-breaks sorry.

What if you add your field like this:

$fields[] = array(
	'type'              => 'textarea',
	'settings'          => 'footer_site_info',
	'label'             => __( 'Footer Site Info', 'troubleshoota' ),
	'section'           => 'footer_general',
	'default'           => '',
	'priority'          => 20,
	'sanitize_callback' => 'esc_html',
);

and then call the value using

echo html_entity_decode( get_theme_mod( 'footer_site_info', '' ) );

Still no luck sorry. I take it this works fine on your side?

Thanks for your patience Aristeides.

Hey there,

I tried to resolve this by using the wpautop function like this:

<?php echo wpautop( get_theme_mod( 'footer_site_info', '' ) ); ?>

Could this be a working solution for you?

Please advise,
Dimitris

Nice!!! That did the trick.

Thanks a bunch to both of you for your input on this one.
