Title: Fields have disappeared – Help! Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # Fields have disappeared – Help! * Resolved [superoctave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/superoctave/) * (@superoctave) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-have-disappeared-help/) * I have been using Pods for over a year now and have not had any issues until now. * I use two pods on my site: one post type and one taxonomy. Both have about 5- 6 fields. However, these fields now seem to be inaccessible in some instances. * For example: - The “Manage Pods” page now list 0 fields for both pods. - The fields are no longer shown on the “Manage Fields” page. - The fields for the custom post type ARE shown when creating a new instance of that post type. - The fields are also displayed (sometimes, but not always) in the “Add new” section of the edit custom taxonomy page. - The fields are no longer displayed on the “edit tag” page of the custom taxonomy. * No data seems to have been lost. The content of these fields is processed and shown in various places and ways throughout the site, and the site still displays correctly. I just can’t edit anything! * This problem appears to be consistent across browsers and between desktop and mobile. Everything was working (all fields were showing correctly) as of about a week ago. No upgrades happened in between then and now. * Help!!! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [Scott Kingsley Clark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sc0ttkclark/) * (@sc0ttkclark) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-have-disappeared-help/#post-7473845) * Have you tried going to Pods Admin > Settings > Clear Cache? * Thread Starter [superoctave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/superoctave/) * (@superoctave) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-have-disappeared-help/#post-7473934) * > Have you tried going to Pods Admin > Settings > Clear Cache? * Hey! Thanks for your quick response. I did try clearing the cache. It did not solve the problem. * Disregard this… see below… [_Since writing the original post, the problem has actually gotten worse: none of the custom post type entries are now displaying at all. The permalinks now show a 404 error. Even when I try previewing entries from their edit pages, it just shows an error. The custom taxonomy is still displaying correctly however._] * Augh. * Thread Starter [superoctave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/superoctave/) * (@superoctave) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-have-disappeared-help/#post-7473936) * Oh. My. Gosh. * The fields (and permalinks) are suddenly / randomly working again. …Sortof. * I deactivated/updated/re-activated the plugin that handles the custom post type permalinks. The fields are once again displayed on the edit page for the custom taxonomy entires. * Something in that plugin must have been causing problems. * However, the fields are still not appearing on the “edit pod” page (and the Pods Admin page still lists 0 fields for both pods), so I can’t remove or edit an existing field… * Plugin Author [Scott Kingsley Clark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sc0ttkclark/) * (@sc0ttkclark) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-have-disappeared-help/#post-7473940) * Sounds like you’re having some memory issues possibly, what hosting are you using?

(The hosting was switched by the higher-ups to a different service and I was not involved with the process). I believe, however, that it is currently hosted by WP Engine. * Here are the details listed on the settings screen: * WordPress Version: 4.5.2 PHP Version: 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.17 MySQL Version: 5.6.29 Server Software: Apache Your User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/ 537.36 Session Save Path: /var/lib/php5 Session Save Path Exists: Yes Session Save Path Writeable: Yes Session Max Lifetime: 1440 * Opcode Cache: Apc: No Memcached: No Redis: No * Object Cache: Apc: No Apcu: No Memcache: Yes Memcached: Yes Redis: Yes * WPDB Prefix: wp_ WP Multisite Mode: No WP Memory Limit: 40M * Plugin Author [Scott Kingsley Clark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sc0ttkclark/) * (@sc0ttkclark) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fields-have-disappeared-help/#post-7473945) * As an interim solution, try installing Pods Alternative Cache [https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods-alternative-cache/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods-alternative-cache/) * Contact WPEngine and ask them to increase your memory limit for your site too.
