<p>I know that Craft3 now requires Redactor or CKEditor plugins to handle rich text editing, however after installing the Redactor plugin through the store, I am getting this error in the 'Body'.
The title and everything else works, just the body gets the error:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Unable to find component class 'RedactorI'.</p>
</blockquote>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/QvHVh.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/QvHVh.png" alt="error"></a></p>

<p>Simple.json</p>

<pre>{
  "buttons": ["bold", "italic"]
}
</pre>

<p><br>
Standard.json</p>

<pre>{
  "formatting": ["h2","h3","h4","h5","p", "blockquote"],
  "buttons": ["html","formatting","alignment","bold","italic","unorderedlist","orderedlist","link","file","image","video","table"],
  "plugins": ["fullscreen","video","table"],
  "toolbarFixed": true
}
</pre>

<p>I've checked my craft/config/redactor simple and standard JSON files and they're properly formatted.</p>

<p>Any ideas?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

Are you sure about `craft/config/redactor`? I ask because in Craft 3 the config is in `config/redactor`

Yeah it's in the right spot, I just meant my craft folder on the server. So it's still config/redactor, just inside of the overall craft folder.

Weird that the error msg is `Unable to find component class 'Redactorl'.` and not `Unable to find component class 'Redactor'.` What is 'l' doing there? Is there a typo somewhere?

Hmm I think I figured out what went wrong. In the admin page settings, the field types were set to plain text and I got the same missing component class 'RedactorI'.
But I set the field type to Redactor and now my body and the rich text editor are working.

Solved it by installing the Redactor plugin, going through admin/settings/fields on the admin page and changing the field types dropdown from Plain Text to Redactor.
