The display method is designed to output your field data as ‘displayed’ so yes, that should work. What settings do you have on the field in Advanced options?

Thank you for your reply. I haven’t changed anything in the advanced options, so additional css classes is empty, as well as default value, set default value via parameter and all checkboxes on resctrict access are empty. Is this correct?
I meant under the ‘Additional Field Options’ for your large text field? Several output options with checkboxes there; what do you have in those settings?

Do you have a solution for this?
You can’t use wpautop and allow <p> tags, it reformats it.

I really don’t get it. Tried to use (1) wpautop without using tags and (2) disabled wpautop and included <p> tags. Both didn’t work?
Sorry, this has got to be frustrating for you, we’ll get it figured out.
In order for us to figure the exact issue and fix it (if it’s a bug), we’ll want to reproduce this on our side.
Can you help us make sure we have a complete grasp of your issue?
- What pod type is this happening on?
- What is the exact field type / options you have set?
- Can you provide example content you’re putting into the field?
- Can you provide an example of what you expect the output HTML to be?
- Can you provide an example of what the output HTML actually ends up being? (the wrong HTML)

Problem should be in the code?

Please paste your HTML example content into a pastebin or wrap them in the backtick (or click “code” above the reply text box here in the forums. I just want to be sure I understand exactly what you have and it ends up as.
I see no issues with your output, can you clarify what’s not working exactly?

That’s not how you should be using <p> tags. If you want line breaks like that, it should be done in the theme’s CSS. Try div#content > p { margin-bottom: 12px; } for instance.
If you really want a completely empty line, you want to use: <p> </p> but that’s really a hack, you should do all display tweaks in CSS and not in the content with that sort of thing.
In the “allowed html tags” option, you need to remove the because that’s not how that option works and could lead to some weird results.
