Missing Custom Fields on WordPress 3.2

Posted on July 9, 2011 · Posted in Blog, WordPress

I’m now using WordPress 3.2 in all my new installation. Of course, I already upgraded the rest of my websites. But I found something that’s really strange. The Custom Fields and a few other modules are missing the the post editor. I was thinking maybe it was removed in the latest version or that it may have been affected by an errant plugin. The problem is that I’m using TwentyEleven theme and no plugins and yet the Custom Fields module is missing. It turned out that there’s actually an option in the Screen Options menu to display/hide certain parts of the editor.


Here’s the screenshot of the Screen Option

I think that menu has been there for the longest time and I’m pretty sure that I’ve used that at least once if I can remember correctly. So now, I’m taking a note of it.
