I'm creating a recipe book application so I created a new Content Type called Recipes and from that I went to add two new fields. One called Ingredients and one called Preparation. I give them both a name, a type of text and a widget of a text area for both. I move them above and beneath the body text area (now renamed Recipe) appropriately. Save it, go to add a page in Recipes but the form still shows the old format. No new fields. So where are they?

Well, are you using Views to show the content_type?
Otherwise, did you check the display settings for those CCK fields to make sure that they're set to default display for a Full Node?
Perhaps Content Permissions is activated
I tried to post a longer reply, but spam filter is blocking.
Update: finally got a reply through (warning: do not use preview). Maybe now I can edit. :) Here is original reply:
By any chance is the CCK sub-module "Content Permissions" enabled in admin-build-modules? (I'm using dashes instead of slashes because the GDO spam filter is over-zealous).
If so, this adds an extra step to adding new CCK fields: you also have to go to admin-user-permissions and check which roles can access that field. They are unchecked by default, so every new field needs to have perms set. You will find 'edit' and 'view' permissions for each field under section "content_permissions module" (kind of like what you do with each new content type under the node section).
It is easy to accidently turn the content permissions module on if you are new to CCK and just activate all of it's sub-modules when it is installed. If this is the case, just deactivate this one sub-module and you can skip the extra step.

Hi Apperceptions,
Although I granted permissions to "Authenticated users" to access a new content type, But it's custom fields were not getting accessed by them. Your post really guided me to sort out my issue. I am very thankful to you.
Thanking You,
Pradeep.
You're right, Apperceptions. Content Permissions is enabled.
Thanks a lot. I just changed the permissions and now I see the fields. Much better. Thanks a lot.
As for your comments, jkrause, I'm not using Views yet to display the content type. I'm still a NooB at this so I'm basically learning from my book on Drupal, the Drupal site and this forum. I have not created a view yet as I haven't actually added any recipes yet either. Now that I've got my fields, I'll add some recipes and then create some views. I have created a taxonomy on certain ingredients though and I'm going to create another one for certain types of recipes like Appetizers, Soups, Desserts, etc.
Thanks!!
Thank you very much. I was going mad trying to find the resaon of the problem. Thanks a lot for your post.
thank you~ this helped me

It would be great
Every now and then I still forget about permission and lose a few more hairs... It will be great to have CCK permission checkboxes added to node creation form. Anyone done this before?
I forget about the
I forget about the permissions all the time! Thanks for the post to remind me to check there.
