The wysiwyg editor field used a lot of custom PHP and JS codes instead of WP built-in function wp_editor().
I’m just curious, is there a reason?
If you’re referring to ACF4, then yes it uses a custom editor. I don’t know the reason that it used that, I seem to remember a time in WP history where this was necessary, but I could be remembering wrong.
ACF5 uses the built in WP editor.
Hi John,
You may misconstrued my words, I’m using ACF Pro 5.3.5.
Yes, it’s using built-in WP Editor – TinyMCE.
BUT my point is that ACF used a lot of CUSTOM PHP/JS CODES for editor field instead of a simple core WP function wp_editor().
this is why I’m curious and wondering anything I can learn and care.
I’m not sure if or why it’s done the way it’s done, I’m sure there’s a reason. The only person that can answer that is the developer. I’ll flag this topic and if he has time to get around he may.
