Custom Event Fields have Disappeared but Data are Still There

[Laura Luttrell]

Hello,

We had two custom fields set up for our events and they have disappeared for no reason I can determine. The data entered in these custom fields still shows up correctly on the front end but if we go in to edit an event or create a new event the fields are missing so we cannot enter or update the data. How do we bring back these custom fields so we can access the existing data and enter new data?

Thanks.

I think we’ve fixed this issue. It appears to have been an issue primarily with Advanced Custom Fields. I’m sure I couldn’t recreate the path by which the problem arose but recreating the missing fields in ACF restored the missing data entry fields populated with the existing data. I wouldn’t want to say for sure that this issue was 100% caused by ACF but it certainly appears to have primarily been an ACF issue.

For anyone else who might come across this thread, this old thread was part of the key to solving this problem: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/using-the-advance-custom-fields-plugin/
