Problem with CKEditor / TinyMCE

  1. I'm running a job board using WP+GF and I'm eager to add the ability for job submitters to style their text with a WYSIWYG editor (CKEditor or TinyMCE) - this will be a huge time saver for me during content reviews.

    I have a couple of major issues which I cannot manage to solve, I hope you'll be able to help me along the way:

    - Is it possible to use a rich editor for other fields than BODY? I've tried with PARAGRAPH and it's not working, i.e. all the styling is stripped off in the backend. Is there any way to change this so that PARAGRAPH keeps all the formatting when submitted?

    - When CKEditor or TinyMCE is used with BODY, there are a lot of extra spade added to the original content - this breaks the formatting entirely and makes it useless. Any idea why this is? I've already changed a setting in CKEditor to prevent it from adding <p> with each Return, but rather - this however didn't help.

    Here's an example of how a form submission ends up in the backend:

    Many thanks in advance!

  2. Ping! :)

    I would really appreciate some help with this as it's a massive time sink having to manually edit each posting.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Can you implement this filter and just return true?

    That should make it so other fields aren't stripped of their HTML. Should that resolve your issue? Sorry, my experience with WYSIWYG editors is limited. All my best!
