Disable Text Tab in Post Editor for frontend form

  • Hello!

    I include edit title and post content for the frontend forms.

    This code:

    acf_form(array(
                                            'post_title' => true,
                                            'post_content' => true,
                     ),

    But in this case I can not adjust the field name and post content as the other fields of the ACF. However, I would like to change the settings of the field post content. For example, I would like to disable HTML (Text) Tab in post editor. Leave only the visual editor.

    Settings that work to backend forms, for example:

    function my_editor_settings($settings) {
    $settings['quicktags'] = false;
    return $settings;
    }
    
    add_filter('wp_editor_settings', 'my_editor_settings');

    It does not work for front-end ACF forms. Any suggestions how to do it?

  • Hi @buylov

    To remove the Visual/Text tab, you can edit your WYSIWYG field and set the “Tabs” as “Visual Only”.

    I hope this helps.

  • Yes, but ‘post_content’ is not a field ACF. This is a required field post.

  • Hi @buylov

    The easiest way would be using CSS to hide it. Something like this:

    div[data-name="_post_content"] .wp-editor-tabs { 
        display: none;
    }

    Hope this does the trick!

  • Hi, how can I hide the Text tab for all users, but admins ?

    Thanks a lot and best regards

  • This is ridiculous, it does not disable the tab, only hides it.

    Changing field behavior doesn’t seem to work on the front end with acf_form even though it works on the admin areas. I have tried many filters and actions specific to acf, tinymce, wp_editor_settings, nothing works. Trying to unset toolbars doesn’t work even with the example code in the documentation. The only thing i could do is disabling visual editor, even then the quick tags won’t disappear.
