Tell us what you are trying to do?
Earlier today, I accidentally deleted a custom fields group on my website (Field Group for Media Appearances). Using advice from other support threads, I was able to recreate that custom fields group by creating a new custom fields group with the same name and associating it with the same custom post type, and then adding back in the existing custom fields that were still around in the database. I thought I had solved my problem, but when I try and add a new "Media Appearance," none of the custom fields appear. In fact, I only get a blank page that would allow me to input the post title and nothing else.

I've tried updating Toolset Types and creating a new custom fields group to be associated with Media Appearances but none of those help. Whenever I try to edit an existing Media Appearance OR create a new one, none of the custom fields appear. The content template for Media Appearances is still displaying all of the correct information from each post, but I can't go in and edit each post because none of the custom fields appear.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I tried using the support from this thread: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-to-deal-with-accidentally-deleted-custom-field-group/.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Hello,

When you get a blank WordPress page, that means there are some PHP errors in your website, please try to get the PHP debug logs from your website:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/debugging-sites-built-with-toolset/#php-debugging
section "PHP Debugging"

And if you are using other cache plugins in your website, please try to clear the cache, and test again
