 * Hello,
 * As mentionned in jtrollia’s thread, I have similar problems regarding custom 
   fields.
    It seems that they do not register at all. No trace in the database.
 * Even when I use the basic example you give in the docs.
 *     ```
       add_action( 'wpas_submission_form_inside_after_subject', 'my_upload_field_frontend', 1 );
       function my_upload_field_frontend() {
          wpas_add_custom_field( 'my_custom_field',  array( 'title' => __( 'My Custom Field', 'awesome-support' ) ) );
       }
       ```
   
 * Same if I use the plugins_loaded action hook :
 *     ```
       add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'wpas_user_custom_fields' );
       function wpas_user_custom_fields() {
         if ( function_exists( 'wpas_add_custom_field' ) ) {
             wpas_add_custom_field( 'my_custom_field',  array( 'title' => __( 'My Custom Field', 
         'awesome-support' ) ) );
         }
       }
       ```
   
 * In the first case, fields show up in the form.
    In the second case, it does not.
   But in both case, nothing is saved in the database.
 * The custom field metabox in the admin area exists but remains empty.
 * Thanks for your Help,
    JM

 * Hey guys,
 * I realize this is not premium support, but it’s been a long time and you’ve already
   answered several more recent issues.
 * You could have said something like “it’s a tricky question” or “we’re looking
   into it”, but ignoring the question does not encourage me to buy the product (
   which I’m considering, but I’d like that issue resolved before doing so).
 * Would you please take a look ?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi:
 * I guess the first thing to check would be to make sure something else isn’t getting
   in the way of your functions. Is it possible to try them on a clean version of
   WP with only Awesome Support installed, the 2016/15 theme and just the custom
   field function calls?
