Hey guys,

I have been running into an issue with a CPT created my Learndash LMS plugin Learndash plugin disables custom fields by default. I used a plugin to basically enable and add those CFs to learndash’s post types and gave them same labels/names

While the post content is added successfully to discourse, the discourse link is not written into the CF’s and not saved.

How could I troubleshoot this?

Why does Learndash disable custom fields? Have you talked with Learndash about this?

Ah never mind, the setting to enable Custom Fields in Learndash’s post types was a bit hard to find.

If anyone else has same issue, you can enable them here: [Global Lesson Settings | Liquid Web](https://learndash.com/support/kb/core/lessons/lesson-settings/#h-custom-post-type-options)
