 * Hi
 * The ‘Custom Fields’ section do not appear when I add a post BUT they appear when
   I create a new Page. Can someone explain why this is?
 * Thanks

 * Have you unchecked ‘Custom Fields’ in the Screen Options panel– top left underneath
   the Username|Turbo|Logout bitt– on the Posts page?

 * 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](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.

 * I have looked in the Screen Options panel but ‘Custom Fields’ isnt listed! I 
   also disabled all plugins and it still doesnt appear. Like I said the custome
   fields do appear when i post a Page.
