[Resolved] custom fields are showing on wrong post type

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

Problem:

The issue here was that the users custom field group was showing up on another Custom Post Type.

Solution:

To resolve this you need to edit your custom field group settings and ensure that only the CPT that you want to be affected is selected.

I have created a custom post type called 'portfolios'
I have also created custom fields for that post type.
everything with those custom fields and that post type are working great,

BUT I just noticed something very strange, the custom fields are also showing up for my blog posts,
when I go to make a new blog post I only see the default WP fields, WYSIWYG, Title, Cats, Tags, Featured Image, Etc,
BUT, after I create the post, my custom fields from 'portfolios' are added to the blog page in the back-end/admin.

when I go to Toolset/custom fields and view what post types the 'portfolio fields' are assigned to it only says Post types: 'Portfolio', there is no mention of the 'Posts' post type.

Hi Eric,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Would you mind providing me with admin access to the site so that I can check on this for you ?

The private fields have been enabled for your next response.

Hi Eric,

The issue seems to be caused by this option here. See Screenshot.

Your posts are being created with the default T2 Hospitality term assigned, which is causing the fields to show up on that post. Why not create a separate custom taxonomy for your CPT instead of using this default category?

Thanks,
Shane

I think I was a little confused when i set it up since it was my first time using toolset, if I uncheck those cats would it fix the issue, I don't plan on using categories on this post type

Hi Eric,

Yes if you uncheck the categories it will work fine.
