I accidentally removed the text formats like:

  • Full HTML
  • Filtered HTML
  • PHP Code

from admin > config > content authoring > text formats.

I want to get them back but couldn't find a way. I re-installed the third party editor (ckeditor) for wysiwyg and also reinstalled the wysiwyg module, but it didn't help.

You soudln't disable text formats on config > content authoring. Now you only can edit your site's database tables. Table "filter_format" has column "status" and rows with text formats names. Change values in "status" column to 1 for each format you want be enabled.

  • I changed their values form 0 to 1 in my database, but I cant find them in admin>config>content authoring>text format. What might be the problem?

  • Hey, I got it working. All I had to do after that step was to clear cache by going to admin>config>development>performance>clear cache. Thanks a lot for your answer.

  • Thanks for this. Seems like if removing one of the 3 default formats has the potential to cause so much trouble that it should not be allowed to remove them.

  • @squarecandy Nah, what if someone only wants plain text? It doesn't make sense to have content types that you'll never use. That could have security implications.

For Drupal 8:

  1. Export the configuration of the disabled filter
    (under /admin/config/development/configuration/single/export)
  2. Change the line status: false to status: true
  3. Import the configuration
    (under /admin/config/development/configuration/single/import)

After this, the previously disabled text filter will be listed under /admin/config/content/formats again.
