Hi @Navid Kashani

The issue is on line 169 where you define the textarea. The name of the textarea is important and must be left as $field['name'], not my-<?php echo $field["editortype"]; ?>-editor

The is so that ACF can save the data correctly!

Thanks

Thanks @elliot, this solved my problem but create another question! 😀

if my field has more than one option for saving, what should i do in this situation?

Thanks
