WYSIWYG Editor Block only in pages?

[Ocean West]

I could have sworn at some time I was able to pick that from the side bar in any other app - am I mis-remembering?

Not sure. But just in case you are not aware: you can create the block in the ACP and then choose it on the front end as “custom block”. I prefer that method anyway. Much safer and easier to organize this way.

I think your right the ad-hoc ones are ephemeral random cat on the keyboard poof- gone 😉

Pages' WYSIWYG editor block is available within other applications as well. Double checking myself, I tried Forums, Downloads, Commerce, and Gallery. If you're having issues with a specific application, please let us know which one and I can double check for you.

I can replicate the problem. 

[Ocean West]

That is my experience.

Assuming that is a sub-forum? What type of forum is it? (e.g. Discussion, Q/A)

I even tried it on /discovery doesn't show

Hmmm, I am not having any issues seeing it there.

Is there already one on the page? The block should allow multiple but just trying to match what you have.

Are you on the latest release? Have you tried disabling all third party applications/plugins and switching to an unmodified theme? I find this odd both you and opentype are experiencing the same thing. If you are still having issues, I will need to convert this to a ticket so we can look closer.

Nothing out of the ordinary tried other theme  - still doesn't show.

I've created a ticket for you so we can take a closer look at this as it will require access to your community to see what is going on here.

I've noticed some weird stuff while working on the ticket from @Ocean West but before I fix it , I've also created a ticket for you which I've assigned to myself to take also a look at your installation to see if both have literally the same issue.

It seems that this was a bug in our upgrader.

The WYSIWYG widget was indeed limited to be used in the pages app in the past, but we changed this 2018 for IPS 4.3.4 (geez, time flies:D ) , but due to a bug in our upgrader, the restriction was never changed, so all instances which were installed before we made the change were unfortunatly not able to use the widget outside of the pages app, while new installations were, hence the problem with reproducing it.

I have fixed this now for an upcoming release 🙂
