Conflict with GiveWP prevents custom field meta boxes being shown on post edit screens

Open

Symptoms

When a Custom Field Group is assigned to some post type then the field group is shown in a metabox on post edit screens.

But when Types, Forms, and Access, together with the GiveWP plugin are active, the metaboxes are missing.

The issue requires all 4 plugins to be active.

Workaround

The only workaround for the time being is to deactivate one of Forms, Access, or GiveWP temporarily.

  • This same issue is happening for me with just Types and Access and a Beaver Builder child theme active.

    Activing Beaver Builder parent theme also doesn’t fix the issue. I have to disable Access to workaround it.

    I feel this has to do with the recent update where post field access capabilities were apparently modified.

    • There’s nothing in the Access changelog to suggest recent changes that would impact this, and if the problem on your site requires Beaver Builder it is a similar but different issue to this.

      Could you please create a support thread and we can investigate further, thanks.
