Hi Vimal,

This issue is not replicable on a fresh install. It may be a compatibility issue with another plugin/theme or an exceptional case in your website.

To test if it's a compatibility issue, please deactivate all plugins except for Toolset and activate Twenty Nineteen theme and check if the issue exists and update us with the tests results.

If you can see the problem when only Toolset plugins are active with Twenty Ninteen theme, then please prepare a duplicate of your website, upload it to an uploading platform and share the download link in the next private reply.

Thanks.

Hi Vimal

I visited your site and I cannot see the problem.

In the screenshot, for example, I am editing a USP post and can only see the USP Fields field group (and the same happens with other post types).

It looks like a caching issue, where you are seeing the problem and I am not.

If you have a caching plugin can you flush the cache, and with your browser can you clear the cache and do a hard reload on the post edit screens.

Let me know if that fixes the problem.

Hi Vimal

Where can I see the issue?

I'm editing posts of different types and I'm seeing the correct field groups on the post edit screen in each case.

The home page field group appears on all post types, but when I edit, for example, FAQ pages, the only other field group is the FAQ page field group (screenshot).

Hi Nigel

Yes, this is the issue I create Homepage Fields for an only home template but it will display in every post edit. can you please check why this happens.

Thanks

Hi Vimal

Got it!

It's specifically when you have a custom field group assigned to no post types and assigned to a template, it should only then show on post edit screens for posts that use that template. Since the update it is appearing everywhere.

I've reproduced that locally, and so am now escalating.

While on your site, though, what's interesting is that the list of custom field groups suggests that they are *all* deactivated: hovering them shows an activate link.

In which case none of them should appear on the post edit screens.

I'm taking a duplicate of your site as it seems we have something else to look at.

No, I took a copy over an hour ago and deleted the duplicator plugin I used, no-one has accessed the site except for me as far as I know.

Hi Nigel,

Issue is fixed, but it is not showing plugin auto update?

I just saw a message in the internal channel from the systems team that a file recording the latest versions wasn't updated but it is now, so I think updates should be recognised now, thanks for mentioning.
