    Hi there,

    I logged in this morning to find that the Custom Fields bit is not loading at all in my admin section! If I create a new post, there is just the title and main post body text area. On the side is Publish, Categories, Post Tags & Featured image.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to why the custom field area is not showing up? It was there 2 days ago :/

    Hi there,

    Ok finally found the problem. It seems with the update to WP3.1 many post screen options are hidden by default (who knows why!)

    If you have the same problem, take a look at this:

    Bye!

    This is awesome. Not seeing it was driving me crazy!

    Thank you so much! I thought my site was broken. Glad I found this before I reinstalled everything. ??

    Hello Dear..
    How to Restore Metaboxes, Custom Fields After Upgrade into WordPress Version 3.1
    Enable the check boxes according to your need, what fields should be visible in your editor screen. Thats all. In feature selective fields will be visible in your editor screen. If you want to show it permanently, Following hack will do the trick. Simply edit functions.php file in your theme folder and add the following code and save it.

    This Code Past on function.php
    // Change what’s hidden by default

    add_filter(‘default_hidden_meta_boxes’, ‘be_hidden_meta_boxes’, 10, 2);
    function be_hidden_meta_boxes($hidden, $screen) {
    if ( ‘post’ == $screen->base || ‘page’ == $screen->base )
    $hidden = array(‘slugdiv’, ‘trackbacksdiv’, ‘postexcerpt’, ‘commentstatusdiv’, ‘commentsdiv’, ‘authordiv’, ‘revisionsdiv’);
    // removed ‘postcustom’,
    return $hidden;
    }
