Magento – Fix Missing WYSIWYG Folder

mediawysiwyg

When I try to upload some images on cms->pages in wysiwyg redactor I get an error

The directory is not writable by server.

I have already explored this error caused because of media->wysiwyg folder is missing. If I create this folder all will be fine. But I wonder why this folder is missing after installation magento. Can someone explain?

Are you sure you have set the correct permissions for the folders upon installation?

Quoted from the Magento installation guide:

Ensure that the directories app/etc , var , and media are writable by the web server.

When the media directory has the correct permissions, the wysiwyg folder should be created automatically and thus the problem should be solved.

Change this to "Yes".

Magento – Magento 2 WYSIWYG Media image directive using admin url

This is a known bug which is still present in CE 2.1.5.

The known fix is to add 'add_directives' => true to getConfig function ofvendor/magento/module-cms/Model/Wysiwyg/Config.php.

The best way to do that is to write an interceptor.

In your custom Magento 2 extension's etc/di.xml file:

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
  <type name="Magento\Cms\Model\Wysiwyg\Config">
   <plugin name="add_wysiwyg_data" type="Vendor\Module\Plugin\WysiwygConfig" sortOrder="30" />
  </type>
</config>

Vendor\Module\Plugin\WysiwygConfig.php:

namespace Vendor\Module\Plugin;

class WysiwygConfig
{
 public function afterGetConfig($subject, \Magento\Framework\DataObject $config)
 {
   $config->addData([
    'add_directives' => true,
   ]);

   return $config;
 }
}

Install it php bin/magento setup:upgrade
Important: after installation you need to re-edit the affected category descriptions and re-upload images.

Idea of this fix extension is not mine but this guy. He also packed it all up on github for you to download.

I tested it myself on CE 2.1.4 and it works fine.
