Some conflict with added WYSIWYG editor to categories

Thanks for reporting. I’ve looked into this and it looks as if I can replicate it. Could you try something to confirm my suspicion?

When editing the category do this:

1. Add something to the WYSIWYG added by ACF. Yoast ignores it.
2. Edit something in the default “Description” field. Yoast should now pick up that change as well as the content from the ACF WYSIWYG field.

Does that work for you? If yes you have a temporary workaround and I know how to fix this in our code. 🙂

Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough. Let me try again:

1. Create a new, empty category term so that Yoast says “0 words”
2. Add 1 word to the ACF field. Yoast will still show “0 words”
3. Add 1 word to the default field. Yoast should now show “2 words”.

So to summarize the issue is that Yoast does include the ACF field, it just doesn’t trigger an update of the word count when you edit the ACF field. So you need to make any change to the default field to trigger an update. I hope this is clearer now.

Any how I have also created an issue over at Github for what I was able to reproduce, I just wanted to make sure we’re talking about the same thing. Here is the link to the issue in case you want to follow that as well, but I’ll keep you update here in any case.

Okay, strange. I can’t reproduce this right now but we have the issue on our bug tracker so at some point we’ll look into it and report back here.

Thanks for your patience. I am still having a hard time reproducing this. Could you check to see if there are any JavaScript errors? Here is some help on how to check that: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-find-javascript-errors-with-your-browsers-console/
