Working with Wygwam Fields

Adding an Wygwam field to the Publish page

Once Wygwam is installed, you can add an Wygwam field to the Publish page by following these steps:

• Go to Admin → Channel Administration → Channel Fields
• Click on your field group
• Click the “Create a New Channel Field” button
• Give the new field a name and a label, and choose “Wygwam” in the Field Type dropdown
• Configure the Wygwam field to suit your needs

• Click the Submit button

  NOTE: Rich Text Editor in ExpressionEngine versions 6 and 7 is built on CKEditor 5 which is not compatible with CKEditor 4 that Wygwam is using. Therefore it is not recommended to have both RTE and Wygwam fields assigned to same channel.

  NOTE: If content or links are being converted to emojies, in ExpressionEngine v7 you may disable them using the disable_emoji_shorthand configuration:

  $config['disable_emoji_shorthand'] = 'y';

See the ExpressionEngine Documentation on custom configuration variables.
