How to disable visual editor for create post?

Hi there @egroj3

Unfortunately, there is no option to use a plain textarea instead of a rich text editor in the Post Data field.

But you can fake it. ??

Just add this in the Custom CSS box in your form’s Appearance settings (at the bottom of the screen there) to hide the unwanted parts of the content field:

.wp-editor-tabs, .mce-top-part, .quicktags-toolbar {
    display: none;
}

That would make your form look something like this:

Thank you! Would users still be able to format their text with ctrl + b, etc.?

I thought maybe there was some php I could alter in the plug-in to switch the rich text editor to the textarea. Is that possible? I really can’t have users submitting anything other than plain text.

Hello @egroj3 ,

Please check this mu-plugin:

<?php

add_filter(
	'forminator_field_create_wp_editor',
	function( $html, $attr, $label, $description ){
		$required = false;
		$design   = '';
		return Forminator_Field::create_textarea( $attr, $label, $description, $required, $design );
	},
	10,
	4
);

(more about mu-plugins here https://premium.wpmudev.org/docs/using-wordpress/installing-wordpress-plugins/#installing-mu-plugins )

You can change $required = false; to true if the field needs to be required.

kind regards,

Thank you very much! This works perfectly. I’ll mark the topic resolved.
