osteI am using the *_add_form_fields action to add fields to the edit/add term page. One of those fields is a wp_editor().
The problem I am facing is that when I output the WordPress editor on the page like so:
wp_editor('test', 'mydescription', array('textarea_name' => 'my_description'));
and then if I click in the editor on the page and change the default value from test to something else the $_POST['my_description'] variable is still set to test
Should I be adding an additional setting to my editor? Is there a reason why I cannot change the value of the textarea?
Below is a simple test case that shows this. You can paste this code at the top of twentyeleven/functions.php in a default install of
WordPress. Then visit the add tag page and try to add a tag. You will notice that the posted value for my_description will not change...
class Test{
function __construct() {
add_action('add_tag_form_fields', array($this, 'add_tag_form_fields'));
add_action('created_term', array($this, 'created_term'));
}
function add_tag_form_fields($tag){
if ( current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) ):
wp_editor('test', 'mydescription', array('textarea_name' => 'my_description'));
endif;
}
function created_term($tag){
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_POST);
echo '</pre>';
die();
}
}
new Test();
