Hi there,

I've got a bunch of posts with data stored as custom fields, however, for some reason the custom fields aren't showing up as options to create fields with. The custom fields were stored on a database level.

Could you please advise how to create filters based on custom fields that haven't been registered in the system?

Best regards
KYle

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

There are couple of things that you can either add the field to managed by Toolset Types or there is another section to use hidden fields with views. In addition to that - you can only use certain fields as frontend filter due to complexity of the fields storage.

If you can share details what fields you want to add as front-end filter for your view with what post type and where I can see those fields. Once I review that information I will be able to guide you in the right direction.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
