 * I updated the plugin and it removed the WYSIWYG from the textarea. I checked 
   the settings and they all look good, not sure why its not showing. Please advise.

 * I’ve also noticed an issue:
 * I’m now seeing the CKEditor associated with all field descriptions in the Gravity
   Forms editor but the editor is no longer appearing in the form itself.

 * Hi,
 * Just to confirm, are you saying that the CKeditor isnt appearing in the client
   side form, or the back end entries screen or the form editor?
 * I just noticed one of the speed improvements I did (to stop the CKeditor loading
   for hidden pages) accidently page it not load in the back end entries screen.
 * Are you able to provide a link, here or email via [wp@ovann86.33mail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-issue-9/wp@ovann86.33mail.com?output_format=md)
 * [@mrickan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrickan/) – I’ve long been frustrated
   by field fields allowing HTML formatting in the description fields but there 
   not being a WYSIWYG field. I’ve been manually typing HTML into these fields but
   need to hand form making over to my clients, and know they wont be comfortable
   manually typing in the HTML mark up.
    So I’m using this plugin as an opporuntity
   to provide this functionality. I’m still working through the performance of it,
   it’s hard to get it to hook into GF without too much overhead. It doesnt sound
   like this is a problem for you, but if it is you can disable it by turning off
   the option in the Gravity Forms -> Settings -> Ckeditor wysiwyg menu.

 * Hello, Great Plugin Firstly 🙂
    Its not working with the update i can confirm
   this as well, It just shows the default textarea, the editor does not display
   on the frontend of the form anymore.

 * Update I just installed the previous version of the plugin 1.3.1 Its working 
   fine, the form shows the editor on the frontend.

 * I can confirm that the toggling the setting eliminates the CKEditor from showing
   up for descriptions so that’s unrelated.
 * Along with abretado and orcusnova I’m not seeing the editor on the client side
   either.

 * OK thanks.
 * I haven’t got any links yet to see an example of what’s happening.
 * Could someone confirm
 * 1 . that you’re not seeing a ‘Warning – Gravity forms not installed’ message 
   at the top of the wp-admin
    2 . that the ‘enable ckeditor wysiwyg’ option is 
   displayed on the paragraph fields 3 . that the ‘enable ckeditor wysiwyg’ option
   is ticked if it’s meant to be 4 . (You’ll need to know how to view the page HTML
   for this one) on the front end form, that the LI for the field has the ‘gform_wysiwyg_ckeditor’
   class, e.g. `<li id="field_26_17" class="gfield field_sublabel_below field_description_above
   gform_wysiwyg_ckeditor">` 5 . (You’ll need to know how to view the page HTML 
   for this one) the the following scripts are in the page source
 *     ```
       <script type='text/javascript' src='http://yourwebaddress/wp-content/plugins/gravity-forms-wysiwyg-ckeditor/ckeditor/ckeditor.js?ver=4.2.4'></script>
       <script type='text/javascript' src='http://yourwebaddress/wp-content/plugins/gravity-forms-wysiwyg-ckeditor/ckeditor/adapters/jquery.js?ver=4.2.4'></script>
       ```
   
 * 6 . that the scripts you find front step 5 open when you follow the src link
   
   7 . the the following code appears in the page HTML (or something like it).
 *     ```
       function itsg_gf_wysiwyg_ckeditor_function(self){
   
       				(function( $ ) {
       					"use strict";

       				jQuery(document).bind('gform_post_render', function($) {itsg_gf_wysiwyg_ckeditor_function(jQuery(this));  });
   
       				// runs the main function when the page loads (for ajax enabled forms)

 * Are we all talking about the same browser, maybe something a little left field
   like Safari or Opera?
 * I just whipped up a fresh install of WP, GF and this plugin.
 * And it’s working in Chrome, FireFox and Internet Explorer.
 * I still haven’t been able to see a website where this isn’t loading, and I’m 
   about to give up if I don’t (I cant help what I can see).
 * Perhaps someone can say if the Ckeditor is loading here:

 * OK – I think I’ve found the issue.
 * I think it’s only happening in single page forms.
 * I must have only tested in multi-page forms.
 * Will work on the fix now and push the update out shortly.

 * OK, thanks everyone for your input.
    Especially those that ran tests and shared
   their form URL.
 * The issue was deffinately a bad ‘selector’ that is used to enable the CKeditor.
 * I had changed the selector to try making CKeditor not load for hidden pages in
   multi-page forms, but I didn’t anticipate how it would affect single page forms.
 * Update 1.5.1 should fix this up. Crossing fingers here !
 * = 1.5.1 =
    * FIX: Resolve issues with CKeditor not loading for single page forms.*
   MAINTENANCE: Further improvements to JavaScript that handles CKeditor in the 
   form editor.
