I second this. The new visual editor in the newest version is nice and all, but is seriously lacking a hyperlink button. The only way to add one currently is toggle to HTML and type in the code manually.
Oddly enough, the appearance of the visual editor changes depending on whether you are editing the post in Visual vs HTML mode. In Visual mode, the visual editor for custom tinymce fields are identical to the WordPress’ visual editor. However if you are editing in HTML mode (save draft while in HTML/visual mode to see the change), then the ‘alternative’ toolbar appears on the custom fields, the one without the option to add hyperlinks.
Bumping this up as it’s still an issue.
In my opinion the visual editor toolbar should stay the same, no matter if the main wordpress post is edited in Text or Visual.
if anyone has any idea how to fix this, it’s extremely frustrating, especially as the weird toolbar does not have a link button.
This is an issue for me as well!
I just updated the plugin to the latest version 2.3.2 and now started experiencing this exact same issue. The TinyMCE Editor toolbar in the Custom Field Template textarea type has changed. There is no longer a button to add hyperlinks and there are two “Formats” menus in the toolbar. There is also a new “File” menu that has the option “New document”
I’ve also just updated the plugin to version 2.3.2 and now there’s no button to add hyperlinks. Quite annoying and would like a fix.
