 * I might have figured it out. Changelog says: We now save every custom field in
   it’s own separate post meta with an editable meta_key.
 * My custom meta box that doesn’t work has the group name: authors and 2 meta box
   fields:
 * field slug: book-count
    field slug: authors
 * I believe the error is because I’m using authors both for field slug AND for 
   meta box group name?

 * Hi! Field types: number and text. Although like I said, I have 4 other custom
   fields (that are also numbers/text) that do work.
 * I already have over 200 posts that use these custom fields, so if possible I’d
   like to avoid recreating them and having to re-enter the values. Using ” in the
   example code doesn’t seem to make a difference. Like I said, when I’m in the 
   post edit page, the box on the custom field remains empty even after updating
   the post (although the values show up correctly in phpmyadmin, wp_postmeta in
   meta_key/meta_value)
 * It’s as if, after the update, those values weren’t correctly registered. I can
   see them all in the database, but they don’t show up in post edit screens or 
   on frontend.
 * I did disable theme/plugins.
