I am trying to use ACF on a website i am developing using a Genesis theme and News Pro. I got the field to display by adding this code to the functions.php

// Display Advanced Custom Fields
add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'ccs_stationery' );
function ccs_stationery() {
if ( is_singular( 'post') ) {
$cf = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'ccs_letter', true );
if( ! empty( $cf ) ) {
echo '<div class="letter">'. $cf .'</div>';
    }
  }
}

The problem is that the content in the ccs_letter field is just displaying as a single run-on paragraph. when I inspect the html, there are no paragraph returns in the text, although when I display the html in the text editor, the <p> tags are there, but they are translating as line breaks when you look at the the html in the page inspector, not keeping their code.

I turned off all the other plugins and that didn't change anything, so it is not a plugin conflict.

Please link to a live site.

You can add p tags to the code so all the cf content is wrapped in p tags like this.

echo '<p class="letter">'. $cf .'</p>';

Actually, I just solved my problem with help from code on Kevin Shoffner's website and information on the ACF website. Here is how I solved it:

add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'ccs_stationery' );
function ccs_stationery() {
if ( is_single() && get_field('ccs_letter') )
echo '<div class="letter">'. get_field('ccs_letter') .'</div>';
}

get_post_meta only brings in the text from the wysiwyg editor, but not the html. You have to use get_field or the_field to get the html, which is what I needed.

thanks for your response, @braddalton
