• I am having problems with one of my custom fields not staying set when I go to edit a post. The field is “image” and I am posting a link to a photo there – so pretty basic stuff I’ve done hundreds of times before.

    When I went to edit the post, I added the custom field and it shows as being there and the box flashes yellow as if it’s updated. I check the page and the image is showing all fine and wonderful. But when I go to change the text in the actual post itself and hit “Update” – now my custom field for “image” is blank and the picture is missing on the post page. I paste the link for the image back in and hit update in the custom field box – it flashes yellow and I check the post and it is there – but if I go and hit update again for the actual updating of the post it disappears again.

    This is not happening with any of my other custom fields – just that one.

    Any ideas or advice? Already tried unsuccessfully with no plugins.

  • I am having the exact same issue, did you get it resolved yet?

    No unfortunately – and installed a fresh copy of WordPress on a completely different server and running into it again. I tried switching to another theme and back to my original theme, and it seems to be working now…so maybe it is a theme problem? (I am using the same theme for both sites)

    If I find a solution/definite cause will update this thread…in the meantime any advice from others is much appreciated!

    I’m having the same problem. Custom fields not updating. I haven’t run into this problem before and I’m using the latest version of WP so it must be a bug in this version?

    I need to get this resolved soon as I rely on custom fields a lot.!

    I’m running into this issue. It’s definitely with the theme but I’ve put so much work into this one that I need to keep it and fix the issue. Any news on a solution?
