It appears that the wysiwyg does not work well with ThemeForest themes. It does not load in certain pages like the title page of contribution pages. It works just fine when I use a default theme.

Suggestions on how to get this working and override the theme ?

  • What version of Civi? – Allen Hutchison Jul 22 '16 at 5:05
  • I have the latest 4.7.9 I believe. It appears to be an incompatibility with the theme but I don't know where to start looking to adjust. – Latinpolyguy Jul 23 '16 at 18:29

    Are you running JetPack? I have seen similar issues with JetPack. – KilakwaBT Jul 24 '16 at 15:52
  • No jetpack, just the themeforest theme. I killed all the plugins and same effect. – Latinpolyguy Jul 28 '16 at 2:25

If anyone new is having this problem, the solution is to upgrade to CiviCRM 4.7.31+. CiviCRM ships with the BackboneJS library; so do certain WordPress themes. Sometimes that causes a conflict. Conflict mitigation was added in 4.7.31.

Try installing this extension and then switching the editor to tinymce under administer - display preferences. Maybe it's a conflict with ckeditor.

  • Yup, I tried that, first thing I did. It appears to be a theme incompatibility but I thought 4.7.9 addressed this. – Latinpolyguy Jul 23 '16 at 18:29
  • Use firebug or even just view-source to see what javascript files are being loaded. Possibly civi and forest are loading different versions of the same library. – Demerit Jul 23 '16 at 21:45

    Latest from the theme forest developers... possible bug? In Karma/framework/truethemes/metabox/init.php at line 22, there is this function wp_enqueue_media(); which is a WordPress core function and not a function with our theme. I commented it out and now your CVICRM wysiwyg editor is loading properly. You can check with your plugin's author, why it's not working when wp_enqueue_media(); is used. I do not know what's the impact of removing wp_enqueue_media(); from init.php, because init.php is part of a third party open source metabox script. Thank you Denzel – Latinpolyguy Jul 26 '16 at 17:03
  • Did you get anywhere with this? I've a similar problem with the Karma theme. I have CKEditor working fine, but the profile selection tool in event set up - under the 'online registration' tab isn't working. – Graham Oct 14 '16 at 11:08

I am using a Theme Forest theme with similar problems, cannot select profiles, etc. I switch to WordPress TwentySeventeen theme, everything in CiviCRM functions normally (but the website looks like ^%^%). I select my profile needed and switch back to my Theme Forest theme. Just do this at a low traffic time for your site and most times it only takes a few minutes to do. I have never tried the wysiwyg but I assume this would work for this situation as well.
