How to use WordPress Text Editor in a custom plugin

4 comments

1. The WordPress Text editor is an application of the TinyMCE Editor. You can utilize the files located in wp_includes/js/tinymce and create an instance of the editor on your own, according to the documentation.

   Check out this article for example instructions:

2. As of WordPress 3.3 the_editor has deprecated in favor of wp_editor. wp_editor uses the new media uploader and takes advantage of all the new features of WordPress 3.5.x Documentation here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_editor

   A very good example of how to use it can be found at Wptuts+ here: http://wp.tutsplus.com/articles/tips-articles/quick-tip-using-wp_editor/

4. Very easy:

   <?php wp_editor( $content, $editor_id ); ?> 
   

   This will generate a lot of html tags. But the one you will be interested in is the textarea with its name set to $editor_id. So when the form is submitted, you can save that content.
