    I've just bought and spent one day to setup and adapt my site with the Apex theme.
    As I finally went back in my product pages (my music products), I realize that the edit screen doesn't show the custom fields.
    This is fundamental for my purpose, as I use a table plugin to manage my shop page. This plugin makes intensive use of custom fields.

    Anyway, I have never seen a woordpress theme that doesn't show the custom fields in the edit screen of pages, posts, etc...

    Is there a simple way to find again these important fields ?
    Thanks in advance
    Christophe

    Hi Christophe,

    Our theme use ACF Pro which you probably know already. It's a very popular WordPress plugin that developers use to create custom meta boxes. ACF is running on over 1 million websites.

    In ACF version 5.5.13, they added a setting to remove the default WordPress custom field metabox to speed up the load times on the post edit page.

    However if you need to have the default WordPress custom field metabox enabled, then you need to add the following code to your WordPress theme’s functions.php file.

    add_filter('acf/settings/remove_wp_meta_box', '__return_false');


    This will solve the custom fields option missing issue in WordPress.
