Missing “Custom fields” checkbox under Screen options

  • I’m running the latest verison of ACF and on my WooCommerce Order’s page I no longer can see “Custom fields” checkbox under Screen options that is supposed to be there by default.
    When I deactivate ACF – the custom fields checkbox is available again. Is this a feature or a bug? Because if this is a feature, then it’s a very bad idea since many times I’m storing custom data in custom fields and now since they are no longer available, it makes it impossible to store additional data.
    Please fix this issue or let me know if there are some hooks that can be used.

    Thanks

    I went and started to dig around the code a bit and found out the code responsible for the above.
    There is a file located here: includes/forms/form-post.php
    In this file there is a function add_meta_boxes
    And there is this piece of code:

    if( acf_get_setting('remove_wp_meta_box') ) {
	remove_meta_box( 'postcustom', false, 'normal' ); 
}

    After commenting this out, both “Custom fields” checkbox returns under Screen options and Custom fields are visible in the page.

    If you feel like removing this, please at least consider offering a Setting or a filter that we can use to prevent this from happening.

    Thanks
