Craft 3 RC Upgrade killed the WYSIWYG Editor

Question

I just finished upgrading to Craft 3 RC and all text on the site is gone. The WYSIWYG Editor has been replaced with this message:

Unable to find component class 'craft\fields\RichText'.

What can I do?

Answer 1

With RC1 the rich text editor was moved to a plugin. You can find the Redactor editor (the previous richtext field) in the plugin store along with a new CKEditor editor as well.

You can read about this in the docs, too: https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/changes-in-craft-3.html#rich-text-fields

Answer 2

Go into the Plugins Sections.

and install the plugin with the name Redactor

And everything will be back to normal.
