New Fields not appearing when creating content

Hello Everyone,

I've created a new content type for my website, and defined some new fields, like a text field, because I eventually want to use the fields in a view. However, when I try to create an instance of this new content type, I don't see these new fields. I've done this before (about a year ago) and can't remember having this problem.

Does this ring any bells for anyone?

Nevermind!

I forgot that I had to set the permissions on the new fields.

I had exactly the same problem, but had been able to figure it out a few months ago, as well. I just felt like a freaking idiot for a few hours till I came across your post! Thanks!!

1) When in doubt, flush the cache.
2) When something doesn't display, but should, check the permissions.

What gets me is that, all the tutorials that I listen to on this subject just completely ignore permissions. I guess they're doing everything as super users.
