[wp-testers] Custom post type and Custom fields, help

[Ezwan Aizat Bin Abdullah Faiz]

I think this problem happens because of autosave.

Autosave will not save your custom post types.

You can disable autosave by placing this in an init hook
                wp_deregister_script('autosave');

Aizat
