Hi There
I am a big fan of ACF and find it very useful.
I do have a small issue though..
I created a special template with 3 text boxes.
I used a Wysiwyg type custom field in a full version, not basic,
however it is different from wordpress native Wysiwyg editor which is reacher and has all the functionality, especially the “link” chain icon (and unlink)
which is missing in the Wysiwyg custom field.
also the image management is missing, I can’t click on the image and get the Edit nice icon which opens up the image popup editor with all the options.

is there a way of using Wysiwyg custom field and get all the functionality same as the WP native one?

please advice
Thanks

As a workaround, you can use this excellent plugin (developed by Eliot Condon itself) :

ACF has a filter for controlling what buttons are shown in the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor:
