ParticipantHi,
I did so many tries before to write but can't find a solution to realize a really simple thing: a list.
Basically I created a custom taxonomy + a custom post type + some custom fields to realize a cooking recipe template.
Everything was fine until I tried to create a Schema.org template (using Rank Math builder) to have structured data connected to Metabox field.
According to many other forum posts the WYSIWYG editor is not working unless I switch to the text mode, which is not a sustainable solution as I would need to teach some HTML basics to my customers in order to create lists, so this option is not working.
I tried to use the "Text List" fields which is supposed to create text....lists but than I realized the all the output is not correct as all the input live inside a single
<li>
tag so, once again, even this option can't be followed.I did several tries with other field types but every time I got the same result: no html list at all.
I need to achieve a very simple thing: ingredients list, one per row, that could be retrieved inside Bricks Builder template and also Rank Math Schema template builder.
How can I create a list without text list or WYSIWYG field? Will they be fixed one day? I saw many forum post concerning WYSIWYG editor and most of them were old.
Could you please help me?
Thanks in advance.

ModeratorHello,
Thank you for your feedback.
There is an issue with the WYSIWYG field and I've escalated it to the development team to fix the issue. Meanwhile, you can switch to the Text mode of the field and use the quick tags to insert
<li>
and other tags with a basic knowledge of HTML.May 23, 2023 at 4:13 PM #41882Christian
ParticipantThank you very much for your reply. I already did the lists with text fields but I can see some problems with this solution:
- It is not scalable - I'm forced to create as many text fields as the ingredients are
- It is not self manageable - Our customer is not able to add other text fields so we will need to add text fields on their account every time
- we're using a builder (Bricks Builder in this case) so I can't retrieve all the fields in a single way and, once again, I would be forced to edit the template to add dynamic fields for every specific text field that will be added in future
Isn't there a better way to handle this kind of informations? As far as I can see the WYSIWYG problem isn't that news.
Please let me know it.
Thanks and best regards.

ParticipantTry to use another Firefox. Many of my sites usually do not work in Chrome or Safari, but are good in Firefox.
