Should work right?

the problem with this solution is that if you use the "docopy" feature, the copied editor does not work. Has anyone found a solution to this?

for single text areas that don't need to repeat you can use the wp_editor function. though i think you need to adjust the textarea's name to match the alchemy naming scheme.

$mb->the_field('additional-content');   
$content = $mb->get_the_value();
$id = $mb->get_the_name();
$settings = array('textarea_name'=>$mb->get_the_name(),'textarea_rows'=>10); 

wp_editor( $content, $id, $settings );

the problem i am facing is that it rich text is being converted to html characters on save.

so something in bold, becomes

<strong>will this work?</strong>

@helgatheviking -

Read an article on this. The solution was as follows:

$content = utf8_encode(html_entity_decode($mb->get_the_value()));

Using utf8_encode and html_entity_decode solved the issue for me. Hope that helps. You might still have the characters once you add the code, just remove them and then update the post
