 * Hi ParadiseCircus,
 * field groups will be visible for all users unless you specify differently in 
   the field group location rules

 * Hey elliot,
 * yea I manage to figure out what was causing my problem, I set a custom function
   to only display “own” posts for user when they wanted to edit them, here’s my
   function…
 *     ```
       function posts_for_current_author($query) {
       		global $user_level;
   
       		if($query->is_admin && $user_level < 5) {
       			global $user_ID;
       			$query->set('author',  $user_ID);
       			unset($user_ID);
       		}
       		unset($user_level);
   
       		return $query;
       	}
       	add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'posts_for_current_author');
       ```
   
 * I’m trying to figure out why this function is causing this problem…
