Thanks Jeff. I was advised to make the posts containing the pictures private as I didn’t want them to show up on the postings. As soon as I made them public, hey presto!
Thanks for our help and a nice plugin.

Hi Jeff. Thanks for your response. I’ve tried disabling all plugins and that made no difference. My guess is that it is a javascript thing. But, what am I looking for and where? How will I know an error if I see one?
This what is on the relevatn page

<script type=”text/javascript”>
/* <![CDATA[ */
var fslast = -1; // # of last slide (if less than 4)
var fsid = -1; // the current slide
var fsinterval = 0; // the setInterval var
function fsChangeSlide(id) {
$(‘fs-entry-‘+fsid).removeClassName(‘fs-current’);
fsid=id;
window.clearInterval(fsinterval);
new Effect.Fade(‘fs-slide’,{ duration: 0.5, afterFinish: fsChangeSlide2 });
}
function fsChangeSlide2() {
$(‘fs-picture’).style.backgroundImage=’url(‘+$(‘fs-entry-img-‘+fsid).src+’)’;
$(‘fs-title’).innerHTML=$(‘fs-entry-title-‘+fsid).innerHTML;
$(‘fs-excerpt’).innerHTML=$(‘fs-entry-comment-‘+fsid).innerHTML;
new Effect.Appear(‘fs-slide’,{ duration: 0.5});
$(‘fs-entry-‘+fsid).addClassName(‘fs-current’);
frontpageSlideshow();
}
function fsDoSlide() {
if (fsid>-1) $(‘fs-entry-‘+fsid).removeClassName(‘fs-current’);
fsid++;
if (fsid>fslast) fsid = 0; // new loop !
fsChangeSlide(fsid);
}
function frontpageSlideshow() {
fsinterval = window.setInterval(‘fsDoSlide()’,5000);
}

Anything wrong here?
Michael

Doh!
Thank you for your patience Michael.

I did all that. Deleted all the wp-admin and wp-includes from the server (just to be sure). Downloaded a fresh copy of WP and uploaded the admin and includes folders. Tested with WP default theme, no plugins. etc., etc. Still no Custom Fields.

Put everything back together now. Still no custom fields. Bug in 2.9.2?? Must be missing something. I have to say that I don’t recall seeing the custom fields from day 1 before I started adding stuff.

That sounds pretty drastic. Am I going to lose all the stuff I have set up?

And, Customer should read CUSTOM

Just thought, do I need to install a plugin for Custom fields?

2.9.2 Found that . Thanks!
Customer fields don’t appear below Edit posts or Edit Pages, hence my request for help. I know where they should be because I have seen screen shots but mine are not there.
I’m guessing that they are switched off by default?
I have tried several different themes but they don’t appear in any of them.
What am I doing wrong??
