Add custom field not displaying

Hi,
The "Add custom fields" button is not appearing under "manage fields" on my site. I clicked on all the extras, so I must be missing something. I think the issue is that the conditions in this statement in ds.field_ui.inc are not being met:
if ($entity_type != 'ds_views' && isset($form['#ds_layout']) && user_access('admin_fields') && $view_mode != 'form') {
_ds_field_ui_custom_fields($entity_type, $bundle, $view_mode, $form, $form_state);
}
Any advice would be appreciated. This looks like an amazing module. I'm running Drupal 7.9 and tried ds 7.x-1.4 and 7.x-dev (2011-Nov-09). Thanks!

Try Manage display

I believe, it should be under 'Manage display' of display modes having a Display Suite layout.

Thanks, that worked.

Under "manage display" I had to "Select a layout", click "save", and then it showed up.

@sean_msu, thanks for this

@sean_msu, thanks for this tip! Saved me a lot of headache and time!

Glad to hear that :-) I also recommend

  • installing Views, which integrates with Display Suite, and watching these video-tutorials on Display Suite: http://youtu.be/HjOG8dVcN4Y

A few other great modules (which you may already have, but anyway):

Apart from Display Suite, Chaos Tools (of course) and Views (and Views Bulk Operations) are my most important non-core modules. Field Group is very cool, Backup and Migrate useful. I haven't quite explored Rules yet, but it is undoubtedly powerful. Renderable Elements from the creator of Display Suite is also very promising, at the least.

Have fun. And succes ;-)
