When modifing the wysiwyg editor, is it possible to change the content of formatselect ?

Hi @PerS

Could you please elaborate a bit more on what ‘formatselect’ select is? I’m not familiar with this.

Thanks

formatselect is the pull down list in the editor with h1,h2,h3 ..

Hi @PerS

Thanks for clarifying.
I know that this is possible using a filter on all WP WYSIWYG called ‘tiny_mce_before_init’, but this will be applied to all fields, not specific ACF fields…

I found this article on stack exchange which may be a good starting point:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/3882/can-i-add-a-custom-format-to-the-format-option-in-the-text-panel

Good luck

Thanks

Thank you, this is what I needed:

add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'wpse3882_tiny_mce_before_init');
function wpse3882_tiny_mce_before_init($settings) {
    $settings['theme_advanced_blockformats'] = 'p,h1,h2';
    return $settings;
}

This doesn’t seem to work for ACF WYSIWYG’s – is there another solution?

For anyone struggling with this, post WP 3.9 you’ll have to do this:

add_filter( 'tiny_mce_before_init', function( $settings ){

	$settings['block_formats'] = 'Paragraph=p;Heading=h2;Subheading=h3';

	return $settings;

} );

Hi there,

The snippet that darrengrant posted works great:

add_filter( ‘tiny_mce_before_init’, function( $settings ){
$settings[‘block_formats’] = ‘Paragraph=p;Heading=h2;Subheading=h3’;
return $settings;
} );

Though it applies to all wordpress wysiwyg’s. Is there a way to limit it to ACF wysiwyg fields only?

Cheers,
