# Not compatible OptionTree?

 * Hello,
 * I am using a theme that was built off OptionTree (as far as I am aware, this 
   allows for the themer to create a menu to customize/override different aspects
   of the theme
 * I am having an issue getting my custom fields (created with CCTM) to show up 
   in the Edit post page. I am presented still with the traditional custom fields
   page where I can add textfield fields, but none of my drop downs made with CCTM
   are showing up.
 * The themer said the problem resolved around CCTM not working with OptionTree,
   this does not see logical as none of the settings for option tree seem to have
   anything to do with the post edit page.
 * Any ideas on how I may override this, and display my fields on the post edit 
   page?

 * Conflicts between plugins/themes is easily the #1 problem with using WordPress:
   it has no centralized logging mechanism and it is over-dependent on events for
   its architecture, so catastrophic collisions are common and hard to avoid. I 
   don’t know anything about this “OptionTree” plugin. But the overall problem with
   WP is that it relies entirely on events to extend its functionality, so if the
   OptionTree plugin hooked something to the edit-page functionality, it could come
   into conflict with the CCTM, and because WP has no logging, you would never be
   the wiser and troubleshooting it quickly becomes an exercise in futility. The
   only way to avoid this type of thing is to disable the conflicting plugins. Either
   disable the CCTM or disable the OptionTree. If the problematic behavior ceases,
   then you’ve identified the problem source.
