Replacing a textarea with WordPress TinyMCE wp_editor()
php, tinymce, wordpress
Solution
I found the solution. You can use a third parameter to pass an array of arguments. Now this is pretty obvious as outlined in the Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_editor
What is a little confusing (the source of my problem) is $editor_id may only contain lowercase letters. So if your form processing script is looking for something with underscores in it (as mine was) then you'll need to do this:
$settings = array( 'textarea_name' => 'post_text' )
wp_editor( $content, $editor_id, $settings );
Note you can't do this:
wp_editor( $content, 'post_text' );
Which is where I went wrong.
Problem
I am trying to replace a textarea with wp_editor() My textarea form element looks like this: ``` <textarea name="post_text" id="post_text" rows="3"><?php echo $content; ?></textarea> ``` Then I have: ``` wp_editor( $content, 'post_text' ); ``` The problem I am getting is both the form textarea and the wp_editor textarea are outputted on the page. Why are both textareas displaying? I only need one textarea to display. Everything saves fine, I just have this problem of 2 textareas showing. EDIT: Is it as simple as putting a `display: none;` on my form's textarea so just the wp_editor() textarea displays? That seems to work but feels a bit hackish.
