Tell us what you are trying to do? I am building a new site. I have created a post type. I then create a field group but it does not seem to successfully get assigned to the post type. I have set access control for the post type. I have also tried deleting and recreating the type and the field group multiple times with not change. The site is a managed WordPress site through Laughingsquid. I have also tried deactivating other third party plugins, but that did not make a difference.

I did see the note on your site about PHP 8.2 causing issues? I am not sure if that may be related.

Is there any documentation that you are following? I am following your tutorial videos.

Is there a similar example that we can see? The issue appears to be similar to the one described here - https://toolset.com/forums/topic/custom-fields-dont-show-up-on-new-post-types/

What is the link to your site? hidden link

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

That is really strange. I do not see any other user reported such isssue in recent time.

Here is a full course on how to create custom post types and custom fields:
- https://toolset.com/course/wordpress-design-course/

And here is specific Doc and it also shows video about how to create custom fields and it should be assigned to post type.
- https://toolset.com/lesson-placement/lesson-placements-1647611-1620037/

Can you please try to follow that and check if that helkps. If it does not help then please send me admin access details and I'm happy to investigate further.

*** 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.

I tried to login to admin using the admin access details you shared but unfortunately it does not work at this end.

I see the following error message when I submit the login details.

Error: The password you entered for the username Minesh_temp_admin is incorrect.

Can you please send me working admin access details.
