[Resolved] CPT assigned everywhere …

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The problem here is that the custom fields are appearing on every post type.

Solution:
If you go to Toolset -> Custom Fields and edit your field group, under Appears On you should be able to specify the post types that the custom field group should appear on.

This should allow you to resolve the issue and restrict your custom fields to only appear on one post type.

Hello Shane, indeed you solved the issue. Thank you very much for your quick and professional support which I appreciate much.

However, before I tick off the issue as resolved, please be so kind to let me know what I did wrong to avoid the same mistake on other toolset sites I will implement soon.

Once again, thanks a lot. Looking forward hearing from you.
Kind regards,

Hi Beatris,

All that I did was to follow the steps that were laid out here in the link below.
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/cpt-assigned-everywhere/#post-2143899

The Appears on Option of your custom field groups allow you to restrict the fields from displaying on other posts types.

Thanks,
Shane
