unable to locate new custom field
7 replies · Started by Manoj Kumar on March 3, 2023
Hello,
I have successfully created subtitle using custom field. You can check the link in private section. I have added a new custom field name as SUBTITLE. For new post when I try to select "SUBTITLE" field from the list I cant find that field in the list (Image attached). There is long list of other custom fields but unable to locate "SUBTITLE". Please help me in this.
Thank You
Hi there,
are you trying to add a custom field in a GP Element?
yes, I am following tutorial video from GeneratePress. Here is the link https://youtu.be/Ff7ikQ7Yw0w
Custom field is a WP core function so theme cannot cause an issue like this.
Did you create the SUBTITLE custom field exactly the way I did in the video?
If so it should work for sure.
If that's not working, can you deactivate all plugins except GP Premium to test?
Hi Leo
Yes I have created the SUBTITLE custom field exactly as you did in the video. I have already shared a post link where it is working fine. But for the new post when I choose to select custom field I cant find "SUBTITLE". Is it possible to delete all other custom fields without affecting site performance? I have already shared the screenshot containing long list of custom fields.
Thank You
In your screenshot, you're editing a GP Element.
And you don't want to add or select a Custom Field in there.
You add the Custom Field to a new Post.
I have already added the SUBTITLE custom field while editing a post (post link already shared). I have tried it for new post also. I am not able to locate SUBTITLE custom field subtitle there. As I have seen in Leo's YouTube video I don't need to add same custom field every time for every new post.
if its not showing in the custom field list them it may be a caching problem or a rest API issue.
Try adding New on the next post to add the field again.
