Hello there,
I'm trying to create a new custom field in the post editor, but i always get the message "An unidentified error has occurred." without the field being actually created.
Browsing through the forum i found quite a few people have the same problem, but i couldn't find a definite answer.
I'm using WP 2.7, the custom field i wish to create is not yet being called from anywhere within my theme/templates so i can't see where the problem is… a bug? misconfiguration on my part? anything else?
Your (any!) help is very much appreciated,
f
p.s. i get the same error on my webserver as well as on my local machine running WP via MAMP…
I forgot to add that i'm not using any plug-ins dealing with custom fields (in fact i'm not using any plug-ins at all for the time being), so that can't be the source of the above problem…
OK, found the solution last night myself:
You simply have to enter a value, not only a key, and everything is fine. I just tried to create the custom fields empty and then fill them with the appropriate values afterwards, which WP apparently does not allow. So not a bug, at least not technically, but surely in terms of user guidance/usability.

Thanks frhdl - BUT . . .
I am getting the 'Unidentified error' at line 17 in page-comments.php where this is the mesage:" Fatal error: Call to undefined function k2_post_class() ".
I tried to put the Value of 'true' into the custom field 'Comments' on the page editor screen.
What I did notice was that on the page editor there was a red "Unidentified error" message but when I added the Value 'true' that error went away.
Saving the page and renewing the cache did not eliminate the error.
