Update on this —? worked with P?r to resolve.

I’m not sure I’ve got the technical details on this 100% correct, but basically I had changed the name of a Field Group and for some reason editing through the UI was editing a different Field Group than was actually being used by the plugin. That is, the UI had me editing the Field Group at this URL:

…/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=simple-fields-options&action=edit-field-group&group-id=3

when that particular Field Group was actually at this URL:

…/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=simple-fields-options&action=edit-field-group&group-id=1

I resolved the issue just by creating an entirely new Field Group and manually moving over the data from the old Field Group to the new one.

Presumably I could have also edited the old Field Group via the “correct” URL with the appropriate slug for the Field Group that I could no longer access through the UI.

Alternatively, P?r was willing to try to fix it by editing the WP database, but since there was a chance I would lose the data that way, I chose to do it manually.

oh, and I should add: I recently had a little trouble with part of the plugin, and the author was very quick in responding to my question and helped me solve the issue.

Thanks for the response (and for the great plugin).

When I add new fields, they do show up in the Simple Fields admin — they just don’t show up on the post pages.

I’ve tried adding several fields… if I add one more, it shows up on in the SF admin but not in the post.

I have only added fields with the GUI, not through PHP code.
