Is your indentation correct? Make sure you use two spaces per indentation level.

The plugin hasn’t seen any updates for 2 years and the readme says “it’s in its early development stages”. So it probably just doesn’t work with the current Kirby version (anymore).

Consider using the new blocks field for a visual approach.

This plugin cannot possibly work, it doesn’t have a main index.js and its `src/index.js` registers a view instead of a field while the index.php registers a field.

So: don’t use.

If you need something visual, use the blocks/layout field.

Other than that, there is only the textarea field for long form text, or the markdown field plugin:
