Visit the Bios archive **Resolve** * We have 4 types listed but when I go into my Bios page I should be a box under where the regular content would go would be that section where the 4 types can be added but its not there. I’d send a screen shot so its easier to see what I’m talking about but we can’t post images here. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/types/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/types/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 20 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-custom-fields-not-available/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-custom-fields-not-available/page/2/?output_format=md) * Anonymous User 14808221 * (@anonymized-14808221) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-custom-fields-not-available/#post-7638994) * I do not see a Screenshot. * That Box with the message you see is to help you to create your Content and display it. * You are missing your Custom Fields section in the post Edit screen most probably because you did not choose the Post type in the Field Settings “Where to include this Field Group” [https://wp-types.com/documentation/user-guides/using-custom-fields/](https://wp-types.com/documentation/user-guides/using-custom-fields/) * Thread Starter [scottkr24](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottkr24/) * (@scottkr24) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-custom-fields-not-available/#post-7638999) * This forum doesn’t allow for including screen shots.

Then underneath the content box I have Front End Display and in that is where your error is. “The Bios archive of your theme is missing custom fields.” The fields ARE created, so why am I seeing the error? * When I enter Post Types I click Bios, then in Post Types to be shown as columns in Post Type listing in Word Press Admin, I have Staff Bios and four check mark boxes, Job Title, Staff email, Staff Phone, Joined Company. All 4 are checked( enabled). Then just under the check marks I see them where you can reorder them if you choose to. I Save Post Type. Then I go into the Bios Page where the Bios are, Front End Display box still shows the error and no box(area) where those 4 items I just mentioned aren’t there to fill in the fields with info. * I hope I’ve made sense here or send me an email address where I can send you screen shots. * Anonymous User 14808221 * (@anonymized-14808221) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-custom-fields-not-available/#post-7639061) * Your theme probably has an archive.php You can read [here](https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_an_Archive_Index) how to create one, or to customise it, which should be [done in a Child theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) * We do not share Emails in WordPress Public Forums, I am sorry. You can use other Services to upload your ScreenShots, and use the links to share them here. * “The Bios archive of your theme is missing custom fields.” As I stated above, this is telling you, the Fields you created are not displayed on your Archive of that Post type. You (since you do not use any other Toolset Components) will need to use Custom PHP to display those Fields on your Post type archives. * If you feel like we should look into your system, please come over to our [Support Forum](https://wp-types.com/forums/forum/general-and-pre-sales-questions/) where we can do this. * It’s free. * Thread Starter [scottkr24](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottkr24/) * (@scottkr24) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-custom-fields-not-available/#post-7639067) * I’ve uploaded five screen shots to my Drop Box account for you to look at. This will show you what I’m talking about as its just to difficult to explain typing it out in text. * 1.png – This is from the Bios page. The Front-end Display is right under the content box. 2.png – This is the area just under the Front-end Display section. The issue is that there was 4 boxes and not 3 as you see here. Something happened but I’m not sure what. The 4 check boxes that you see in screen shot 5.png was there but now gone. 3.png – See this. 4.png – Bios 5.png – As you see they are created, they’re just not showing as I explained above. * [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8zd2wj8hj1zk5qk/AACTlQYyLnDM4fzvn4tN-_5Xa?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8zd2wj8hj1zk5qk/AACTlQYyLnDM4fzvn4tN-_5Xa?dl=0) * Thread Starter [scottkr24](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottkr24/) * (@scottkr24) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-custom-fields-not-available/#post-7639071) * You reply said to [https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_an_Archive_Index](https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_an_Archive_Index) There already is an archive.php in my custom template directory.

I took it over. I was informed that the Bios options that are supposed to appear just below the content box on the Bios page WAS there but as you saw in the screen shots its not anymore. Something has happened to cause it not to show up anymore. What could have gone wrong and how can it be fixed without creating a whole new Toolset? * Anonymous User 14808221 * (@anonymized-14808221) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-custom-fields-not-available/#post-7639087) * I do not see those Fields in your Post Edit Screen. * And the issue with the Front end Display is as said, NOT related. * It simply informs you that the archive, is not showing those Fields. * This has nothing to do with if those fields are present in Post Edit Screens, or already created. * Those messages appear actually ONLY if the fields exist. * So, I have to log in and see what is wrong. Can you please follow my previous post and post in the forum mentioned? Then we can login, see what’s wrong and fix it. * Thread Starter [scottkr24](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottkr24/) * (@scottkr24) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-custom-fields-not-available/#post-7639088) * On the left side under Toolset there’s only Post Fields & Post Types. No Post Edit. I’ve set up a login for you so you can see what’s going on in there. Be aware that this site is a duplicate of the production site (dev site) that I use to test with before actually doing it on the production site. So whatever you do to fix the issue you’ll have to be very specific on what you did so I can do the same on the production site. What country are you in?
