Trying to save new fields under a custom field group.
Really getting to be a complex issue so will try to explain this in much detail as possible.
First the only changes have been us upgrading from Toolset across the board (latest on everything) and we also added to different types of relationships to the post type. Not sure if either is related but those were only changes.
The issue is only for one custom group that we have been using for a long time.
First I went in to add a new field. When I hit save the new field was not added. So I look everywhere nothing. I then try to hit save again and there is a field (that I have now deleted from our database) that was a select field that had two of the same values - after I hit save. So two values had a "3" saved to database... So I change one of them to a "4". It saves but the next time I try to save it the "4" has turned into a "1"... won't save until I change it. Did this like 20 times before I gave up.
Anyways try to add new field. Will not add. No error, no errors in log. Just nothing. Ahh but then I create field and then drag it to the top of the custom field group. It saves.
I then get rid of the field that is corrupt (because we found that nothing saved with it in the custom field group). So we think issue is fixed... No. We have had fields that appear to be randomly just getting kicked out of this custom field group and when I go into Post Field Control the field that gets kicked out is red. I can add the field back to the group but then on random saves one particular field gets kicked out repeatedly - submitted-by... Other fields have gotten kicked out and one even disappeared - we created a test field, saved data on it, and boom it was completely gone a couple hours testing and we have no idea what we did to delete it.
But anyway the only way we can save fields to this group is putting the item at the top (almost like this group has some sort of limit on it). And even then it will often take the submitted-by or possibly another field out of the group and we have to get it back in by going to Post Field Control. It is an absolute mess.
The only other help I can offer is we have a really good import and export tool and it for the first time ever is getting hung up just by the post_type that is related to this group. It is almost like it stops reading the database at a point due to some error - again nothing in php log.
So I have absolutely no idea what to do to start troubleshooting this because this group is pretty much like every other group we have - only possible thing making this group special is that it is the largest one we have (still just like 30 fields) that has a relationship set up for it.
What do you need other than direct access which I probably can't provide?
Thank you that was it. So am I not supposed to get any error messages on stuff like this? Also it did change some of our data... Just odd nothing came in my php logs.
