Does CPT UI disable custom fields?

    I’ve noticed that the Custom Fields feature has been disabled on both pages and post types where I’ve used CPT UI to create custom post types. This is true across all the sites I’ve built that employ CPT UI. I have enabled the Custom Fields checkbox under the Supports area in CPT UI, but the fields don’t show up in the Screen Options panel (for both pages, which should be unaffected, and the new post types). What am I missing?

    Figured it out. The issue was the result of a another staple plugin, Advanced Custom Fields, which disables the default custom fields for performance reasons. This snippet will help reinstate the default Custom Fields feature:

    add_filter('acf/settings/remove_wp_meta_box', '__return_false', 20);

    Definitely looks and sounds believable there. Glad you were able to figure that out.
