 * Hi all,
 * So I have two WordPress sites, both use custom fields. On the one I pulled down
   the screen options tab and checked for custom fields to be shown. On the other
   one this screen options tab is no where to be seen? I changed back to the Twenty
   Ten Theme and it still wasn’t there?
 * Any ideas would be great, starting to panic!
 * Thanks all!
 * Jess

 * Im having the same problem. In the place where the screen options tab used to
   be, there’s now a big banner ad for Jetpack.
 * Can someone advise how to make the screen options tab visible again?
 * Thanks!

 * a:
    i would assume that jetpack has to provide an option to switch the advertising
   banner off.

 * Hi
 * I had to sign up for Jetpack, by registering the site with WordPress, and then
   the banner went away, revealing the Screen Options tab.
 * Pretty cumbersome. And a bit uncool, being forced to sign up for a feature like
   that, but at least it worked.

 * Thanks all, disabling the JetPack plugin got rid of the banner and my screen 
   options are back 🙂

 * Hi again
 * Is there a simple way to disable the banner, short of signing up for Jetpack?
 * Id rather not have to go through the whole Jetpack registration deal every time
   I build a new WordPress site!

 * Willamato, go into plugins and press deactivate. That gets rid of the banner 
   🙂
