In standard XE, CKEditor is indicated as default in /etc/xwiki/xwiki.properties configuration file.
Maybe you had conflict at some point in xwiki.properties and kept the previous version (and then apt kept it like this since there was no change in standard xwiki.properties file). Here is how it's supposed to look like at the end: #-# [Since 8.2RC1] #-# Indicate the default editor to use for a specific data type. #-# The editors are components so they are specified using their role hints. #-# Some data types can be edited in multiple ways, by different types of editors. #-# Thus you can also indicate the default editor to use from a specific category (editor type). #-# #-# The format is this: #-# edit.defaultEditor.<dataType>=<roleHintOrCategory> #-# edit.defaultEditor.<dataType>#<category>=<roleHintOrSubCategory> #-# #-# The default bindings are: # edit.defaultEditor.org.xwiki.rendering.syntax.SyntaxContent=text # edit.defaultEditor.org.xwiki.rendering.syntax.SyntaxContent#text=text # edit.defaultEditor.org.xwiki.rendering.block.XDOM=text # edit.defaultEditor.org.xwiki.rendering.block.XDOM#text=text edit.defaultEditor.org.xwiki.rendering.syntax.SyntaxContent#wysiwyg=ckeditor edit.defaultEditor.org.xwiki.rendering.block.XDOM#wysiwyg=ckeditor On Mon, Jan 16, 2017 at 7:06 PM, shouldbe q931 <shouldbeq...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > On an infrequently maintained xwiki instance (.deb on Ubuntu), which > was running 8.4.1, the default editor is WYSIWYG > > In Administration | Edit Mode Settings | DEFAULT EDITOR, the dropdown > box contains Wysiwyg and Text, and does NOT contain CKEditor > > If a page in the wiki is selected, the edit icon has the options in > the dropdown for WYSIWYG, CKEditor, Wiki & Inline form, then below it, > Objects and Class.
