 * All was working fine for all my sites, about 5.
    Now when I login to any of them
   and click on add new page. the meta boxes are missing. It is not related to the
   screen options, cause when i enable it there i get the add custom field option.
   I had (depending on the site) several meta boxes for images and js scripts.
 * did not update anything to any of the sites,
    Hope anyone can help.

 * Hi,
 * Did you update WordPress to 3.5 recently ?

 * updated when the new version came out, but everything worked fine until i opened
   it today, yesterday it was working.
 * and some sites are not updated yet, but the same thing happened there.
    when 
   i check the ftp, it does not seem that anyone has touched the files, so really
   weird.

 * What you mean by “Meta fields” in “New page” ?
    You talk about the options “Parent”,“
   Template” and “Order” ?

 * hi sorry, no not the fields on the right side.
    my developer added some custom
   fields under the body text field. some for images and some for js scripts.
 * Not sure how he did it, and he is not here now. but when i clicked add page it
   would have several fields available that we used for header image and sup page
   images and js menus on the page.
 * front end all is working fine, but backend those fields are gone.
    while nothing
   got updated or touched.

 * OK.
 * Try to open an existing page… Can you see the Custom fields that was created 
   at the page creation ?

 * when opening an existing page they are gone too.
    I am not sure if it is just
   the custom fields, as they need to be made for each page.
 * these where fields that were present already when you click the add new page.

 * I see in my themes functions.php file the meta fields are listed.
    example: array(‘
   name’ => ‘Hearder Image’, ‘desc’ => ‘Upload an image or enter an URL (Size 1500
   ×294).’, ‘id’ => $prefix . ‘govacation_header_image’, ‘type’ => ‘file’, ),

 * weird now i am getting frustrated, see that in all my sites, only one file has
   changed, the one pulling the above script, and only the add script line had been
   deleted,
    changed all passwords to protect against hacking, but dont think i 
   was hacked if only that line had changed.
