 * I don’t mean to spam this forum, but after upgrading to 2.9 **ALL MY CUSTOM FIELD
   VALUES have become invisible in all my posts**!!! This is so damn frustrating!
   I have tried everything in the book, the update was done manually as always, 
   the custom field values are there, but nothing of them is visible after turning
   to 2.9!!! I am desperate, please, anyone?? This is a huge problem, since I am
   operating 6 sites and all of them are now updated to 2.9!!

 * BUMP, seriously!! All my WP-installations are without all essential data! My 
   custom field values in all my posts on all my WP-sites has become invisible after
   upgrading to 2.9!!! I have tried all night to solve the issue, and as far as 
   I can see this is a WP 2.9 related bug. Please, anyone with any advice? I can’t
   see thousand of hours work lost because of this!!!

 * Try disabling all the plugins and checking your theme. It’s unlikely that this
   is a 2.9 issue by itself as more folk would have come across it.

 * Thanks for replying mrmist!
    I have tried disabling all plugins and my theme 
   is literally totally unchanged since 2.8.5 and have worked perfectly on this 
   and all other WP-versions! For instance, on this site of mine, [http://www.ordne.no](http://www.ordne.no/),
   all articles has a large image above the excerpt, but after 2.9 [the excerpt and the large image is gone](http://www.ordne.no/2009/12/bygg-vedskjul-del-6/)!
   And the short URL generated is invisible, but present inside wordpress. i.e.:
   All custom fields has become invisible.
 * Is is even worse on some of my other sites where I use a large amount of custom
   fields for every post. Now, they are just skeletons. I am so frustrated and tired.

 * It was the Category Templates plugin which screwed everything up. Now I have 
   removed this plugin and replaces it with single post template and have to manually
   edit every single post. At least it will work again…
