 * I am attempting to do work on my website so I installed a few plugins. Advanced
   Custom Fields and Code Snippet.
 * When I go into a post I see all my custom fields are missing, not a problem I
   add some code into code snippet but it still doesn’t show up.
 * `add_filter(‘acf/settings/remove_wp_meta_box’, ‘__return_false’);`
 * How can I get this to show up? ACF is supposed to make a custom field that shows
   up when I edit a post but it’s not there. So I have to bring that back and yes
   I have looked through the menus and preferences area. All I see that I can adjust
   is blocks.

 * request guidance from the team most familiar with ACF plugin.
 * here’s the link to the plugin’s specific support forum: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-custom-fields/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-custom-fields/)

 * The first thing that I did was go check their forums. It does not look like they
   answer questions on there so I come here hoping that someone may know what to
   do. Can we try that or am I stuck going ask a forum that’s not going to answer?

 * I recently had a case like this with one of my plugins. However, it involved 
   a custom post type where I prevented boxes from being displayed (to prevent the
   data record from being edited). But then I explicitly enabled ACF to allow some
   flexibility.
 * Which post type are you referring to? Posts, pages, or a custom post type?
 * By the way, your sample code is incorrect. The quotation marks should be different,
   like this:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_filter('acf/settings/remove_wp_meta_box', '__return_false');
       ```
   
 * But that can also happen when copying it here.
