Where does the ‘category custom fields’ coding reside?

    Hi,
    We are having a weird issue when attempting to create new ‘custom fields’ for categories, [APPEARANCE>Categories custom fields], when trying to create a new custom field for a particular category, wordpress refreshes the page and the new custom fields are not saved! However deleting an existing custom field from any category works fine.

    We think it maybe a corrupted php instruction, on the coding for the custom field generator, does anyone know where possibly this function is coded for a possible FTP file replacement?

    Apprecite any support.

  • Hi,

    As far as I know, there’s no option called Categories custom field under Dashboard → Appearance area. Are you using a plugin to create those custom fields for the categories?

    Right… I just got an article talking exactly about the custom option… this feature probably was coded and inherited from a theme…

    “To display your custom field on your website, you will need to edit your WordPress theme files.”

    Apparently wordpress has the function hidden by default “By default, custom fields option is hidden”

    The article also mention that the coding to open the funtion is done on the files “single.php” and “content-single.php”, basically locating the files that we wanted to begin with.
