 * Hi, I have read your other topic regarding this issue but found no instructions
   on how to solve my issue.
 * I am developing a website locally and need to add more custom fields (file id–
   if possible to be generated by a global task given by admin in a separate field**
   I am using custom fields plugin to insert all of my custom data for the post**,
   for example if admin enters the task code ACME4 than each attachament would get
   a code ACME4-01 and than ACME4-02 and so on as they are added).
 * If you could give some little help with the above it would be perfect, but anyway
   I am not able to display my new fields in the editor.
 * Followed the steps exactly and changed the wp-config and functions.php file.
   
   You can find snapshots here: [http://89.44.32.139/audiotranscription/problem/](http://89.44.32.139/audiotranscription/problem/)
 * Let me know how to get it working so it displays both in backend editor and as
   well as frontend.
 * Thanks

 * That functionality is outside the scope of the plugin implementation. I’d suggest
   contracting a WordPress developer to implement dynamically named fields as I 
   don’t plan on building that in at any time.

 * Further it looks as though you’ve swapped the name and label for your custom 
   field.

 * Did you fix the issue of your name and label being backwards? The field likely
   isn’t showing up because the name is invalid.

 * Still the same problem. Updated the snapshots [http://89.44.32.139/audiotranscription/problem/](http://89.44.32.139/audiotranscription/problem/)

 * That’s the legacy version of Attachments. Attachments 3.0 supports only WordPress
   3.5+.

 * Updated to the latest version of wordpress,
    got this error [http://127.0.0.1/audiotranscription/transcriptions/transcription-for-ibm/](http://127.0.0.1/audiotranscription/transcriptions/transcription-for-ibm/)

 * Now you’re using the outdated snippet for the legacy version of Attachments. 
   Please check out all of the documentation available in the readme that shipped
   with the plugin, [on GitHub](https://github.com/jchristopher/attachments#description),
   or on [Attachments’ page itself](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/attachments/other_notes/).

 * Perfect, thanks a lot. One final question and I’ll stop wasting your time.
 * Is there a way I can update the fields in this screen *spapshot (according to
   my custom ones)? now I get the standard fields when I add the media and have 
   the others only later on the edit post page.
