Still using CKEditor 4?

CKEditor 4 reached its end-of-life in June 2023 and won’t have any further feature or security updates. However, the LTS (Long Term Support) Module extends support for Drupal users, ensuring a protected editing environment with security fixes until December 2026.

Frequently asked questions

URL Copied

The method by which you set up the editor in Drupal depends on which version of CKEditor you’re using, and the Drupal version where you’re implementing the editor.

When CKEditor is available as a core module, there is no need for installation or any extra steps. When it’s available as a contributed module, you need to install the module yourself. Details about configuration of both core and contributed modules and documentation can be found on the module pages.
