 * I was reading about custom fields, and someone said to go to the edit-form-advanced.
   php. I went, just out of curiosity, and mine has this error:
    Fatal error: Call
   to undefined function: dropdown_categories() in /home/morbid/public_html/blog/
   wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php on line 65 –> [http://www.morbid-romantic.net/blog/wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php](http://www.morbid-romantic.net/blog/wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php)
   I’ve never messed with it, so I don’t know why it’s screwed up.

 * Oh, and it does the same thing sort of in my edit-form-comment.php page.
    Fatal
   error: Call to undefined function: format_to_edit() in /home/morbid/public_html/
   blog/wp-admin/edit-form-comment.php on line 40 Anyone know why, or how I can 
   fix this?

 * Those files aren’t meant to be accessed directly. They are “included” inside 
   of other files. What that person meant was to click the Advanced Editing button
   on the “Write” screen. That gives you access to custom fields.
