Title: Custom Fields problem Last modified: July 11, 2017 --- # Custom Fields problem * [esoma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esoma/) * (@esoma) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-custom-fields/) * Hello, * I found these bugs concerning Custom Fields: * – I can change the order of the fields, but in the frontend, new custom fields always appear at the end of the list. (I only observed this after entering around 18 fields, don’t know if it’s related to the number of custom fields) * – deleting Custom Fields doesn’t really delete them for existing products. It looks like this in the frontend: ” : ” * – likewise, creating a new custom field only makes the field appear for new products in the frontend. * Especially the first one is a problem, hope you can fix this soon.

The only thing you can’t do is have your custom fields show up before the categories/sub-categories and tags in the sidebar. * 2) Could you please clarify if you mean deleting the custom field from the list under the Custom Fields tab in the plugin dashboard? or deleting the content of that field from the Product details? Also, where does that colon show up? * 3) Could you clarify this too, do you mean the custom fields don’t appear for the old products even after you assign it a value in the product details, under the Product tab in the plugin dashboard? Once a custom field is created, they are hidden for all the products if the custom field is empty for that product. That may be the reason why you don’t see the custom fields for old products. * Thread Starter [esoma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esoma/) * (@esoma) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-custom-fields/#post-9315493) * 1) Sorry but no, it does not work everywhere: We are not using the tabbed layout on the product page but **default layout**. I can send you a screenshot if you tell me where to send it. * 2) Of course I mean deleting the custom field from the list under the Custom Fields tab in the plugin dashboard. I think the “:” showed up where the custom field used to be before deleting it. I can’t test it (because 1)). * 3) Ok, just tested that: custom fields appear for the old products after you assign it a value in the product details. * [etoilewebdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/etoilewebdesign/) * (@etoilewebdesign) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-custom-fields/#post-9316250) * 1) Ok, it seems the order stays at the default on the default product page right. Not sure why, but we’ll take a look to see if we can get it back to reflecting the order from the drag and drop. The order should be reflected fine everywhere else. * 2) Where does the colon show up? On the product page? If you can provide a link and tell us where it shows up, perhaps we could see what’s going on. * Thread Starter [esoma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esoma/) * (@esoma) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-custom-fields/#post-9328647) * 1) Thank you for looking into this important feature! * 2) Yes, on the product page. Since this is our intranet, I can’t send you a link, only a screenshot, but there isn’t much to see, it looks like this: * custom field: text custom field: text :text –> deleted custom field * You can probably try this on a test page, I assume it doesn’t only affect our page. * [etoilewebdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/etoilewebdesign/) * (@etoilewebdesign) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bugs-custom-fields/#post-9329936) * Hi esoma, * 2) It seems like it only appears on Custom Product Page Type. If you use Tabbed Product Page type it won’t show deleted field label and field values. If you wish to use only Custom Product page type. You may want to hide those field label and field value with custom css. Please refer to example given below: * ``` .prod-page-custom-field-label- .prod-page-custom-field-{ display: none !important; } ``` * Thank you for letting us know, we have noted this issue. We are hoping to resolve this issue in further updates.
