Custom fields are no longer being saved

    Without making any changes to the back end, and checking to ensure the health of the DB is ok, I am suddenly no longer able to add custom fields to pages or posts.

    When I click the “Add custom field” button, it appears to save the info I’ve entered, but when I hit Publish, the changes are not saved and there are no custom fields associated with the post. Anyone have this problem before, or know what could be causing it?

    Thanks!

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress?

    Thanks! I changed the theme and that fixed the problem. There was some code in the custom.php area that was causing the problem, and I didn’t really need that feature anyway. Thanks for the tip!
