Hi @Finvaron
No worries.
The default WYSIWYG field uses the JS tinymce object to instantiate the field. This allows it to work within a repeater field.
The add-on WordPress WYSIWYG field does not use JS to create itself, instead if uses PHP (wordpress function) to create the editor. This however does not work within a repeater.
Thanks

The issue only occurs if you first open the Media Manager in the standard WYSIWYG and select Upload Files, then close that Media Manager modal. Then, when you click the Edit pencil icon on an image field you see the same Upload Files modal screen rather than the Edit Image screen.
Now it works for me!
I installed the Add-on WordPress Wysiwyg (http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/add-ons/wordpress-wysiwyg/). That did the job!
@elliot: Can you explain me the difference between the “WYSIWYG-Editor-field” and the “WP WYSIWYG field”?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Elliot, thank you for your response.
Hi @loic_syclo
Thanks. I’ll add this back into the to-do.
I believe it was removed by accident when moving around some to-dos.

Hi @davegrant
Can you confirm that the user has the wysiwyg editor option enabled in their profile settings?
Perhaps you could post some login details with instructions to view the edit page in question?
You can post a reply as private.
Thanks

Hi @elliot, no, there’s no JS errors at all. Console open before page load.
Hi @davegrant
I don’t think the issue is with the field, but with the page you are trying to use it on.
Please open your console log and watch for an error on the page load.
Any JS error will cause the WYSIWYG to fail render.
What is there error you see?
@udapud you’re welcome, glad its working!
Awesome Rich thanks, culmination of a long day and not realising I had chosen the “AND” rule instead of the “OR” rule, as I had two rules for two custom post types.
Thanks again
Hi @udapud
In the admin at the bottom underneath where you are adding the new HTML / WYSIWYG fields there should be an area called ‘location’ here you can set rules which decide where the new fields you have just created will appear.
You will need to select ‘Post Type’ – ‘is equal to’ – ‘NAME OF YOUR CUSTOM POST TYPE’
When your client edits one of the custom posts they will see the new WYSIWYG.
You can call it in the custom post template with
the_field('YOUR FIELD NAME')
Hope this helps
Rich
Hi @robnero
Sorry mate, I don’t offer support outside of this forum.
I think there is a chance that your theme could be conflicting with ACF and preventing the url from converting. Are you able to try on a fresh install?
@elliot Sorry to bother you on this one. The only fix I have is to use the iframe embed code, and paste it into the html view of the wysiwyg. I don’t have any other plugins running on the field. Tried all the other tricks you listed. Any chance of chatting offline?
Hi @robnero
I can’t replicate the issue locally which means this issue is circumstantial – the hardest to find and fix!
So, if the ACF WYSIWYG field saves the value with <p> tags around the url, then the url is not converted?
Can you try and find the cause of the issue?
Perhaps it is caused when saving in the HTML / Text view?
Had you used the HTML button to edit the HTML?
What if you delete the text, and paste in the url again on a new line?
Any other plugins running on the WYSIYWG such as tinymce advanced?
Any debug info will be great!
Hi @robnero
Just looked at the URL and the video seems to be working. Did you find a work around?
Do you have any new info?
Fantastic @elliot, I look forward to it.
Cheers.
Hi @JboyJW
This is definitely a feature which will be added. But may not be added until some more pressing issues are addressed
Thanks

Hi @elliot,
I see that there is an acf_settings class added to the WYSIWYG editor body but nothing unique to the particular editor. What I’ve seen in other plugins is they add a specific class so that you can style just that editor using the editor’s custom stylesheet. Having a class added that is pretty much the same name as the field name would be ideal. So if the field name is my_editor_field, you can could a class called acf_my_editor_field.
Let me know if this is a feature that may be added.
Thanks,
Jason
In case this helps, I took a look at the database values of each of those links…
Working link:
- Has an “_oembed_…” entry in the postmeta table for each video in the post.
- The main “content” ACF field does not include any paragraph html tags, it just has line returns in the table entry.
Not working link:
- Does not have any “_oembed_…” entries.
- Has all the paragraph html tags, along with other html tags too.
Curious.
Hi @robnero
Thanks mate. I’ll be running some tests this week to solve this issue. Any links you can post to help me will be great (youtube links that work / don’t work)
I am having the same issue: links to youtube videos are not showing up as embedded videos, they only show as the link.
I am using ACF 4.1.8.1 and WP 3.5.2. I’m showing the content by applying the the_content filter on the get_field.
It’s strange, some videos are showing up, but if I go in and resave the post, then the videos do not show up anymore.
Easy Columns inserts short codes that allow the user to put columns straight into the WYSIWYG editor. It doesn’t allow you to insert the columns on any of ACF’s WYSIWYG editor’s – I‘ve tested.
I understand about the support; just wanted to give a head’s up and see if any one else was having this issue.
Thanks elliot.
Hi @nathanaelphilip
Thanks for the bug report. I can’t guarantee that ACF will work with every plugin out there, but if I find some time, I will check this out.
Are you able to do some debugging and test out exactly what doesn’t work?
Is it all WYSIWYG fields or just the flex field? Alos, what do you mean by ‘doesnt’ work’
