 * My when I go to add or edit a post the Custom Fields are not there. I look directly
   below my post entry here the drop accordian option should be but not Custom Field
   selection.
 * See the screen shot here: [http://www.husar.us/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Picture-2.png](http://www.husar.us/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Picture-2.png)
 * Anyone else had this issue?

 * thank you for your response. I did everything on that list. I am using the same
   theme on two different sites. Both have 3.1. One has the custom fields and one
   does have anything(discussion, author, custom fields, ect) below the post except
   some fields that are generated by plugins.

 * Did you read the section on “MISSING OPTIONS IN POSTS”?

 * ya know, I wonder how many things I would not have problems with if I actually
   read them from top to bottom. I did the alternative and did not even check the
   screen options.
 * Love the hair.
    thanks, Michael

 * For those that are reading this and don’t want to go thru everything on that 
   link.
 * If you recently upgraded to 3.1 and custom fields disappeared try going to the
   posts page (where you would edit the post and expect to find the custom fields
   box).
 * Up in the upper left side there are screen options that allow you to select what
   you would boxes you would like to see under the edit post field.
 * These options are different for each page withing the dashboard.
 * Also, if you didn’t notice these boxes are all arrangeable by click and drag.
