Why does not appear my custom fields?

I installed the two plugins and follow all the directions on the video, But when I'm pre-viewing my Custom Post Type it does not show any custom field. It's kind of weird because it's still displaying default fields at the top. Please I need your help. Thank you.

Hi Marco,

You'll need to check the rules are set within your field group (using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin):

  • Click on Custom Fields in the left navigation.
  • Click Edit against the relevant custom fields.
  • Scroll down below the custom field list to the Location box.
  • Ensure the Post Type is equal to art (or the name of your custom post type).
  • Click Update in the top right.

Does that help?

Unfortunately it does not. I follow this step in the past. Even if I change the posttype to a standard page, it doesn't work as well.

Can you confirm the name of your Custom Post Type and the settings you have in the Location box please?

Thanks
