I have created a repeater field that contains a WYSIWYG field. I cannot save any values for Tabs, Toolbar, or Show Media Upload Buttons. Each time I try to save them, they default back to default values.. It doenst matter if WYSIWYG is within repeater or not, doesn’t work

I have tried saving as JSON, download, editing, reupload.. didn’t work

I have deleted and remade the fields, didn’t work

I have deleted and remade the whole field group, didn’t work

I disabled every other plugin on site, didn’t work

I just downloaded and installed ACF pro, how could this be so terribly broken out of the box?

I am not having any issues with WYSIWYG fields, either in repeaters or out.

Have you tried a different theme?

Are you seeing any JS errors on the page?

I just had the same issue, but for me the problem was that I had forgotten to give the WYSIWYG field within the repeater a title. ACF doesn’t prompt you to add a title if you forget, but then when you try to save content to that field, it silently fails.

So, for anyone else facing this, double check that you’ve added a field title!

I’m using the latest version of ACF Pro and WP, FWIW.
