I just tried this. It still doesn’t work.
This doesn’t appear to be the issue. The plugin shows up fine in the editor but when I run it in preview or on the live site, it doesn’t show up.
I get this bug:
Just had a quick glance and I suspect your challenge might be that what you are trying to do in Bubble requires a load of plugins and conditionals. This combination can be slow, there maybe a better way to do it or it might be Bubble is not a great fit for this use case.
Would need more time and a chat to figure it out.

Honestly, Bubble is VERY slow on android but no complaints for iphone and desktop. 3-4 seconds is ok.
I did start off with 8 seconds 1 year ago.
Reasons it took so long:
Way too many groups and elements on one page.
Way too many things on page load (go for 0 if you can)
Things were not joined in the database: E.g. you have items, categories and users. upon creation of an item save it to the categories list of items and the users list of items. That way you never have to do a search for all items in the database to find the one where the condition creator = current user or text = cleaning items applies but can use current users list of items or current page categories list of items.
I saw that for your page too @ leehaber. lots of do a searches for and too much stuff on page load.
I type expressions and edit them, but didn’t succeeded in getting any error… Weird !
Lee, try creating a new page and putting BDK on it and adding parameter to the BDK settings one by one to figure out which one breaks it.
I had to do this with a PDF one yesterday to help the plugin author track the bug down.

The funny thing is it was working fine 2 days ago. I don’t believe there were any recent updates either.
I just did tried what you suggested and none of the instances of this editor are showing up. I think it might be the host of this plugin being down or something.
I was able to type several expressions, then edit them, then switch from one typed expression for another one (using the right panel), and it seems working… At least, I don’t get any plugin error.
Which web browser are you using ? (I’m using Chromium)
Weird. That’s exactly how it should be working.
I’m using Chrome.
Let’s please not have a pile on here. OP expressed his annoyance, is getting some help.
Not sure the rest helps anyone, thanks.

Try using another browser. A Chrome update maybe broke something ?

I just used Safari. It works fine now.
Resetting Chrome doesn’t seem to fix it. You’re probably right about the update messing with it somehow.

Ok, so this one is not for Bubble 
It appears not, thought it seems like there is weird interaction going on between Chrome, Bubble and the plugin.
I’m going to report this Bubble and see what could be causing this.

I think the common consensus is that any ‘mission critical’ aspects of your app should not be outsourced to a third party…bubble has built a Rich Text Editor plugin that I use and every time I have brought up a bug with it to support they have launched a new version fixing that bug.
I stay away from plugins for the simple fact I don’t want to have my app fail because I entrusted its success to somebody else who may or may not be around as long as you would need them to be.
I just took a quick look at the showcase post from Nov 2018 about the BDK Rich Text Editor and it seems like the Bubble Rich Text Editor can do all the same things…have you looked into the Bubble Rich Text Editor Plugin?

I have but it lacks some key functionality I’m looking for. With Rich Text Editor, can’t fully customize the buttons in the toolbar, nor can I format the default text to my liking. I chose the BDK editor because it had these features.
I think from now on, I’m going to look at building these key components in house.
@NigelG… I’m definitely not piling on here because I don’t care about these types of threads. That being said, can we change the title of the post, please? It is antagonistic and inaccurate, and it is now the title of a post where folks who were referred to as fanboys jumped right in to help the OP. So, I definitely think it should be changed.
Best…
Mike
Edit: Big thanks to whomever changed the title… much better now.

I tried implementing a version using a list of text instead of a database. The problem is your options are much more limited in terms of sorting a list of texts (you can’t even do something simple as display in reverse order easily)
I did some more digging. I think the issue is that when I’m using Chrome, one of the JS files isn’t loading because of a 403 error.
Has anybody encountered something like this before?
Also, why would I only get this error with Chrome and not another browser?
quill it’s a main library, do you use adblock ? or maybe you have installed other plugins that using this library?
