# Cannot edit update or change data

 * I have a site about to go live. I have used this plugin for a lot of data. [http://allticketsinc.com/broadwayscene.com](http://allticketsinc.com/broadwayscene.com)
 * I found today that I cannot change the content of any of my custom fields. If
   I change it and click “update,” the fields revert back to what they were. I cannot
   delete the data, or edit it; any content change is simply ignored in all custom
   fields as soon as I update the page. It’s like this chunk of the database is 
   frozen.
 * I have tried Chrome, IE, and Firefox; same problem.
 * Before I do anything major, can anyone offer me any insights as to why this might
   be happening?

 * I am having this same issue with a live site. We’ve had to go into the database
   to update for the client, but he used to be able to edit using a WYSIWYG editor
   on the fields in the back end, but the WYSIWYG doesn’t show up and when you update
   the content it doesn’t actually show up.
 * I have also tried Chrome, IE & Firefox and same issue.

 * We seemed to have fixed the issue by disabling the plugin “Metabox Field Tabs”
   on our site. Seems to be a compatibility problem between these two.

 * For me, this turned out to be a conflict with my theme: Cyberchimps iFeature 
   Pro version 5.1.0.6. I reverted back to an older version of the theme, and that
   solved the problem.
