Hello! I am having a couple of issues with the WYSIWYG custom field.

In one CPT/custom field, the WYSIWYG is not saving the "p" tags when pressing enter/return using the visual editor. This means, when I dynamic insert the data on a page, it is create one large paragraph, instead of multiple paragraphs. The only way I can get it to work is by switching to the text editor and manually putting in the open and close "p" tags. These should automatically be input when using enter/return on the visual editor.

on another CPT/custom field, the WYSIWYG is completely broken. It shows I am viewing the visual editor, but none of the edit buttons are visible. In addition, the content box is blank, I can not type in the editor, and I can't click to switch to the text editor view. It simply does not work. If I switch this custom field to a Text Area, I can then see my typed text is still there, but as soon as I switch it back to the WYSIWYG option, I am back to the same issue.

Hi Alisha,

Can you please share the code that creates the fields on your site? Refer to this documentation to generate PHP code https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-builder/#getting-php-code

Here is the code for the WYSIWYG fields that are not saving the p tags:

<?php
add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_function_name' );
function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {

Here is the code for the WYSIWYG field that is completely broken:

<?php

function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {
    $prefix = '';
$meta_boxes[] = [
    'title'      => __( 'FAQ', 'your-text-domain' ),
    'id'         => 'faq',
    'post_types' => ['faqs'],
    'fields'     => [
        [
            'name' => __( 'FAQ: Answer', 'your-text-domain' ),
            'id'   => $prefix . 'faq:_answer',
            'type' => 'wysiwyg',
        ],
    ],
];
return $meta_boxes;
}

Hi,

Thanks for your additional information.

Regarding the wysiwyg field under the post type resources, I see that issue. The wysiwyg field is not working properly as a subfield in a group. I will inform the development team to check and fix this.
Regarding the wysiwyg field under the post type faq, the field ID must not include the special characters. Should be only numbers, letters, and underscores (and rarely dashes).

[
    'name' => __( 'FAQ: Answer', 'your-text-domain' ),
    'id'   => $prefix . 'faq_answer',
    'type' => 'wysiwyg',
]

Refer to this documentation https://docs.metabox.io/field-settings/#general

I was able to fix the issue with the wysiwyg field under the faq post type. Hopefully there will be a fix quickly for the wysiwyg field as a subfiled in a group. Thank you!
