I want to display a paragraph heading my blog (set as a blog archive). I've added a wysiwyg metabox and this adds the intro to the top of the blog archive (index.php) before the posts. I am not having any success - trying all sorts of combinations - see below - to get <p> tags to function. All I am getting is the text surrounded by <div> tags. Any ideas? Am stuck.
** BASIC OUTPUT CODE
$blog_id = get_option('page_for_posts');
$blog_intro = rwmb_meta( 'blog_intro', '', $blog_id );
echo $blog_intro;
Have experimented with the following -
$blog_intro = wpautop( $rwmb_meta( 'blog_intro', '', $blog_id ) );
echo wpautop( $blog_intro );
echo wpautop( $rwmb_meta( 'blog_intro', '', $blog_id ) );
echo do_shortcode( wpautop( $value ) );
ALSO TRIED
$blog_meta = get_post_meta($blog_id, 'blog_intro', true);
echo '<p>' . $blog_meta . '</p>';
