Title: Post Custom Fields will not save Last modified: February 9, 2019 --- # Post Custom Fields will not save * Resolved [edjarrett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edjarrett/) * (@edjarrett) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-custom-fields-will-not-save/) * When editing a post I am unable to save a Custom Field. I deactivated all plugins and activated them one at a time and Media Library Assistant ended up being the culprit. Any ideas what might be wrong and how I might be able to fix this?

I regret the trouble you are having with custom fields and the plugin. * I just ran a quick test on my system and I am able to update custom fields without any problems. I went to the Media/Assistant screen and clicked the “Edit” rollover action to go to the Media/Edit Media screen. I then changes the value of two custom fields, clicking the “update” button for each field. The field background flashed yellow, and the content was updated. * I would like to reproduce your issue so I can investigate further. Can you tell me the steps you are using to attempt the update? Can you confirm the versions of MLA and WordPress you are using? Any additional details will be helpful; thanks. * Thread Starter [edjarrett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edjarrett/) * (@edjarrett) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-custom-fields-will-not-save/#post-11188357) * I am using WordPress 5.0.3 and MLA 2.78. When I am editing a post, scroll down to the Custom Fields, select a field, add a value and then try and save it. Nothing happens. Reopen the post and the field was not added. I disabled the Custom Field area in MLA but that had no impact. * Plugin Author [David Lingren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dglingren/) * (@dglingren) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-custom-fields-will-not-save/#post-11188524) * Thanks for your update with the additional information. I now realize your problem is with Posts, not Media items. I did not read your original post carefully enough; sorry. * I was able to reproduce the problem on my system and I will investigate further. * In the interim, you can work around the problem by disabling MLA’s Media Manager enhancements: 1. Navigate to the Settings/Media Library Assistant General tab. 2. Scroll down to the “Media Manager/Media Grid Enhancements” section. 3. Uncheck the box to the left of “Enable Media Manager Enhancements”. 4. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click “Save Changes” to record your new setting. * I hope that gives you some relief while I work on a fix. Thanks for your help and your patience. * Thread Starter [edjarrett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edjarrett/) * (@edjarrett) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-custom-fields-will-not-save/#post-11188533) * Thanks. That worked. * Plugin Author [David Lingren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dglingren/) * (@dglingren) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-custom-fields-will-not-save/#post-11188723) * Thanks for confirming the work-around. * I have uploaded a new MLA Development Version dated 20190209 that contains a fix for your issue. If you want to re-enable the “Media Manager Enhancements” you can install the Development Version and update your settings. * You can find step-by-step instructions for using the Development Version in this earlier topic: * [PHP Warning on media upload with Polylang](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-warning-on-media-upload-with-polylang/#post-9625341) * If you have problems with the Development Version you can reinstall the production version or disable the “Media Manager Enhancements” depending on the nature of the problem. * If you get a chance to try the Development Version please let me know how it works for you. I will do more testing and update the MLA production version when I am back in the country after March 1. Thanks for your help with this issue. * Plugin Author [David Lingren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dglingren/) * (@dglingren) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-custom-fields-will-not-save/#post-11405395) * I have released MLA version 2.79, which contains the fix for your issue. * I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have any trouble with the new version. Thanks again for your help with this MLA improvement. * Thread Starter [edjarrett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edjarrett/) * (@edjarrett) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-custom-fields-will-not-save/#post-11405425) * That seems to have done it.
