I’ve managed to fix the issue by.. turning it off and on again!
Simply by deleting the plugin and installing it again solved the issue.
I should have tried that to begin with really.
Interesting though is that the design/layout of ACF has updated for me so maybe there was an issue when I last updated it? Because my version was up to date.
Anyway thanks @hube2 for taking the time to try and help.
Hi John,
Unfortunately that didn’t solve the issue either.
It’s as if ACF is stuck in a state that is styling that meta box to display:none.
I was sent this link where someone else had the same issue.
They give a good explanation to why they thought it happened, but sadly their fix didn’t work either. But I thought I’d include it here for others in case they run into the same problem.

It’s very strange.

Hi @hube2,
I haven’t no, it’s happening to all Field Groups that I have. I’ve only ever trashed one Field Group and that’s been permanently deleted. All the data is still working on the site and is evidently there in my JSON folder (acf-json) too.
It feels like some strange style override in the admin hiding the fields for some reason?
I’m hoping someone can help resolve the bug.
