Textarea

Textarea control provides a multi-line text input field, perfect for longer content like descriptions, excerpts, or any text that needs multiple paragraphs.

Textarea Control

Control Settings

  • Placeholder - Text shown when the field is empty
  • Characters Limit - Maximum number of characters allowed (leave blank for no limit)

Usage Examples

Basic Output

PHP
<div class="description">
    <?php echo wp_kses_post( nl2br( $attributes['control_name'] ) ); ?>
</div>
Handlebars
<div class="description">
  {{control_name}}
</div>

Post Meta

Post Meta
<?php
$text = get_lzb_meta( 'control_meta_name' );
if ( $text ) {
    echo '<div class="description">';
    echo wp_kses_post( nl2br( $text ) );
    echo '</div>';
}
?>

Use nl2br() to convert line breaks to <br> tags, or wpautop() to convert them to paragraphs.
