The ACF Pro 5.6.0 update removed WP’s own custom field meta boxes from the Post and Page editor, even if ACF hasn’t been assigned to that post or page.

There’s no way to toggle the visibility under Screen Options.

Adding add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'post_meta_boxes_setup' ); to functions.php doesn’t work either.
