i've one slight problem. I've built a news custom post type with custom post type ui and advanced custom fields.in the backend i normally use text area fields since they are unstyled without any enclosing tags so they are easier to place. but in the case of the wysiwyg field that way isn't viable since per default content is enclosed in paragraph tags.
<div>
<?php the_field( 'news_post' ); ?>
</div>
leads to
<div>
<p> content </p>
</div>
but is there a way to apply a class to the p tag like
<div>
<p class="mydesiredclass"> content </p>
</div>
best regards ralf

as follows:
$text = "<p>Test paragraph.</p><a href='#fragment'>Other text</a>";
echo strip_tags($text);
echo "\n";
// Allows <p> and <a>
echo strip_tags($text, '<p><a>');
Outputs
Test paragraph. Other text
<p>Test paragraph.</p> <a href="#fragment">Other text</a>
