    Your the_field() function echo the output, not returning the value as
    @KIKOSoftware speculated. If it wouldn’t echo and returned value instead, you’d end up with an empty <p> tag anyway, because there is no echo to output the result in your code.

    If the_field() returned value, you’d need
    use either

    <?php echo the_field('price',$postID) ; ?>

    or

    <?=the_field('price',$postID) ; ?>

    So the answer is: check your the_field() function.

    Just change

    the_field('price',$postID)

    By

    get_field('price',$postID)

    And Enjoy!

    Using the_field() echos and get_field() returns the value of a specific field. So with your provided code if you change both to get_field() then it will display empty <p> tags as you’re not echoing them.

    The solution will be to change the if condition to get_field() and the one inside <p> tags would remain the_field().

    <?php if (get_field('price', $postID)) : ?>  
  <p class="price"><?php the_field('price', $postID); ?></p> 
<?php endif; ?>

    If you ever echo any tags then get_field() should be used.

    if (get_field('price', $postID)) {  
  echo "<p class="price">" . get_field('price', $postID) . "</p>";
}

    Any function that echos its value should not be used inside if statement’s (condition).
