Custom fields not updating

  • Hi.
    We frequently run into an issue, where we can not update any fields in a link.
    We use a lot of custom fields (plain text and links, no lists) and sometimes they stop being saved on changes, so after hitting save and the refrehs of the site the fields are still empty. As well as on the edit page as on the frontend.

    Occasionally even the link itself can not be updated anymore.

    Is this a known bug or are there any fixes on this?
    Or is there a limit of characters for the entries?

    We just updated to v6.7.11 but problem persists.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Custom fields are actually a brand new feature that I introduced in the last month or two, so it is possible that there are issues with saving the data.

    That being said, I have not heard about this problem before and have not experienced it myself in my local testing either.

    My first thought would be to check the debug logs on the site. If you don’t logging active, you can turn it on by setting some variables in your wp-config.php:

    define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );

    With this configuration, no messages will be displayed on your site, but a log will be created in the wp-content directory.

    Try to see if any errors related to Link Library come up in that log after you get issues with the custom fields.

    Are you still experiencing issue with the saving of the custom fields? Did you try to enable debug logging on your site to see if any errors come up when you try to save your posts? I have not had any other reports along these lines from users, but as I said before, this is a relatively new feature.
