General Faqs

1. My custom field is not getting displayed in front end for all the categories that I selected?

Now, this is common & important question! When you create a custom field for your custom post & some times it happen that it is not visible on all the categorys’ detail & submit pages that you selected & saved from the Advance setting option of the theme.So, lets find out its solution

We are talking about the custom category as mentioned here,

• wp-admin > Theme option (or Theme name like GeoPlaces) > Advance settings
• Then Custom fields > Edit Field (for particular field)

Solution

• Go to your phpMYAdmin (Database)
• open the table wp_templatic_custom_post_fields (it may be extended with some more characters like _g4 for geoplaces depending on your theme)
• Go to Structure > field_category > Change
• Extend the default value with your required one. It is character base counting & the specified figure is a collective length of all the field category. So, increase it accordingly.
