Custom Fields will not save

  • Hey

    I am having trouble added new custom fields. Everytime I add one, it appears, I add in the relevant value and hit publish. The field does not save. If I edit the value for an existing field, it flashes yellow in the normal way, but will not save.

    I have tried deactivating all plugins, this had no effect.

    Any other thoughts?

    Thanks…

    Are you using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin ?

    Hey

    No, I am not using that plugin. I have tried deactivating all plugins, no change, so I guess its safe to assume its not the plugin.

    There are no obvious error messages. I add a new field, I add the value, it shows in the admin area. Then, I hit publish, the screen freshes and the field and value are gone again, literally, it doesn’t save.

    I have previously used these custom fields on other posts on the site, these remain working, but I am unable to edit them, no changes will save.

    I am runnning the Total Theme for WordPress, I have many installations of this theme, custom fields on other installs appear unaffected.

    Not sure what other info I can provide?

    Usually with these sorts of errors, its a known bug and usually an easy fix, but I can’t find anything for this. Running the latest verison of WP and all plugins and themes are up to date.

    Go and take a look at your php error and access logs :

    to see if there is a clue in there.

    Add this to see if it works properly :

    Thanks for your reply.

    No errors reported.

    I installed the plugin. The Custom Fields box has now vanished completely. Its no longer in Screen Options either.

    Where you expecting that?
