Great plugin – works with WP 6.3

Great plugin to allow you to make your term descriptions more visually appealing. It works just fine with WP 6.3 in lieu of implementing the block editor for term descriptions.

Should be core

I used ACF Pro for the first time today and within 15 minutes I had made myself a repeater field and encountered this problem. Bonkers that this isn’t baked into such an expensive product.
