 * Update on this —  worked with Pär to resolve.
 * I’m not sure I’ve got the technical details on this 100% correct, but basically
   I had changed the name of a Field Group and for some reason editing through the
   UI was editing a different Field Group than was actually being used by the plugin.
   That is, the UI had me editing the Field Group at this URL:
 * > …/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=simple-fields-options&action=edit-field-
   > group&group-id=3
 * when that particular Field Group was actually at this URL:
 * > …/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=simple-fields-options&action=edit-field-
   > group&group-id=1
 * I resolved the issue just by creating an entirely new Field Group and manually
   moving over the data from the old Field Group to the new one.
 * Presumably I could have also edited the old Field Group via the “correct” URL
   with the appropriate slug for the Field Group that I could no longer access through
   the UI.
 * Alternatively, Pär was willing to try to fix it by editing the WP database, but
   since there was a chance I would lose the data that way, I chose to do it manually.

 * oh, and I should add: I recently had a little trouble with part of the plugin,
   and the author was very quick in responding to my question and helped me solve
   the issue.

 * Thanks for the response (and for the great plugin).
 * When I add new fields, they do show up in the Simple Fields admin — they just
   don’t show up on the post pages.
 * I’ve tried adding several fields… if I add one more, it shows up on in the SF
   admin but not in the post.
 * I have only added fields with the GUI, not through PHP code.
