Multiple TinyMCE Editors in one Admin Page

Question

Please could someone give me an idiots guide to adding more than one TinyMCE editor to a page editor page please. I am creating my own wordpress theme and the multiple editors are an essential part of the website.

I would like to know what code I need to add and where I add it for the editors to appear in the Editor side and the code needed to output the code to the live website.

I have searched online for the answer but can not understand the ones that I have found. I have only just started learning PHP.

Any help will be gratefully appreciated!

Answer 1

You'll need to use add_meta_box() to setup the field and wp_editor() to make a new instance of TinyMCE.

Answer 2

I've got a class on Gist that will create a full secondary TinyMCE post editor which will look and function exactly like the original editor complete with toolbar, support for shortcodes, etc.. Just drop it into your theme and assign the post_type which should display the editor. You can then call the content saved to the secondary editor with the function get_the_subcontent() similarly as you would for the_content()
