I am doing jquery validation on my form which works fine for all fields except for the wp_editor field.
I can set the content like so:
$("#recipe_content").html("<p>Hello</p>");
However validation itself does not work for that field:
$("#recipe-submission-form").validate({ rules: { recipe_title: { required: true, minlength: 4, }, featured_image: { required: true, }, recipe_content: { // DOES NOT WORK required: true, minlength: 20, }, }, messages: { recipe_title: { required: "Please enter a recipe title.", minlength: "The title must be at least 4 characters long.", }, featured_image: { required: "Please select a featured image.", }, recipe_content: { // DOES NOT WORK required: "Please enter the recipe content.", minlength: "The content must be at least 20 characters long.", }, }, });
