   Get the wp_editor through AJAX Call,

   add_action( 'wp_ajax_bc_ajax_request', 'bc_ajax_request_fn' ); 
   function bc_ajax_request_fn(){
   $html ='';
   $html .= bc_get_wp_editor('Test Message','primary_editor',array());
   return $html;
   }

   function bc_get_wp_editor( $content = '', $editor_id, $options = array() ) {
   	ob_start();
   
   	wp_editor( $content, $editor_id, $options );
   
   	$temp = ob_get_clean();
   	$temp .= \_WP_Editors::enqueue_scripts();
   	$temp .= print_footer_scripts();
   	$temp .= \_WP_Editors::editor_js();
   
   	return $temp;
   }

   • print_footer_scripts() outputs an array and results in the error ” Array to string conversion”. Since WP4.8 it is also possible to call the editor directly in JS, see https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/05/20/editor-api-changes-in-4-8/.

   To edit tinymce Visual Buttons, you should use toolbar instead of TinyMCE documentation’s theme_advanced_buttons attribute:

   $args = array(
       'tinymce'       => array(
           'toolbar1'      => 'bold,italic,underline,separator,alignleft,aligncenter,alignright,separator,link,unlink,undo,redo',
           'toolbar2'      => '',
           'toolbar3'      => '',
       ),
   );
   wp_editor( $content, $editor_id, $args );

   Remove HTML button and media button in editor. Create blank content. Define a custom name and id for the editor. Determine your editor’s row count.

   $content = "";
   $custom_editor_id = "editorid";

   $args = array(
   		'media_buttons' => false, // This setting removes the media button.
   		'textarea_name' => $custom_editor_name, // Set custom name.
   		'textarea_rows' => get_option('default_post_edit_rows', 10), //Determine the number of rows.
   		'quicktags' => false, // Remove view as HTML button.
   	);
   wp_editor( $content, $custom_editor_id, $args );
