Including WYSIWYG Editor in Plugin Admin Settings Page?

2 comments

1. the_editor($content, $id, $prev_id, $media_buttons, $tab_index, $extended);
   

   is deprecated.

   Use instead:

   wp_editor( $content, $editor_id, $settings = array() );
   

   More info here.

   To include this in your Admin Settings page all you need to do is replace the input or textarea with the wp_editor() code. Example:

   If you are using a class to output a custom Admin Settings page. The form field would be output like this:

   public function content_callback()
   {
       printf(
           '<textarea type="text" id="title" name="my_option_name[content]" value="%s" />',
           esc_attr( $this->options['content'])
       );
   }
   

   Replace the function above with the following:

   public function content_callback()
   {
       printf(
           wp_editor(
              my_option_name[section_one_content], 
              $this->options['section_one_content'])
       );
   }

2. This is super old and possibly this function did not exist when this was posted. That said, just use this:

   <?php the_editor($content, $id, $prev_id, $media_buttons, $tab_index); ?>
