Try this (notice the _false_ at the end): * `echo wpautop( editable_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'degrees', 'rich', false) );` * > When it’s it a custom field, hitting return simply puts a carriage return in. * In my testing, that only happens the first time, when the editor is empty. It’s a bug in NicEdit. * Thread Starter [Bill Dennen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xyzzy/) * (@xyzzy) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-front-end-editor-problem-maintaining-line-breaks/#post-1816905) * Thank you, scribu. * This is better. I’ve also noticed that you temporarily lose line breaks after you edit a custom field in NicEdit and hit Save. If you reload your post, things are back to normal. Is this also a bug in NicEdit? * I really like your plugin, and we’re excited to deploy it to our users to edit pages. * Thread Starter [Bill Dennen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xyzzy/) * (@xyzzy) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-front-end-editor-problem-maintaining-line-breaks/#post-1817120) * We’re also seeing a loss of line breaks when hitting “Save”. If I reload the post, the line breaks are there, as expected. * 1) load post 2) double-click on a custom field to edit it in NicEdit 3) hit save 4) field loses line breaks — 5) reload post 6) line breaks are there ok. * Thread Starter [Bill Dennen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xyzzy/) * (@xyzzy) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-front-end-editor-problem-maintaining-line-breaks/#post-1817185) * scribu, is this expected behavior for editing custom fields with the rich text editor? That is, loss of line breaks, temporarily until reloading the post. * ``` We're also seeing a loss of line breaks when hitting "Save".

This may cause confusion for my customers that will update the site. Is there any work-around available? * Again, thanks for a awesome plugin!
