Adding Custom Content to the Site

Right now I am watching the video "Adding Custom Content to the Site" under "Content Strategy with WordPress".

I have installed both Custom Post Types UI and Advanced Custom Fields Plugin as Zac mentioned in the video. However, I have a problem with WordPress. Some of the buttons such as "+Add Field" when you add a new custom field isn't working. Some of the regular dropdown menus like Screen Options and Help aren't working either.

I already googled the problem and but I can't find the right answer. Can anyone please help me?

Sounds like a conflict perhaps with Javascript or jQuery

Are you using the default theme (twentythirteen, twentytwelve) or your own theme?

Thank you for the reply Caroline Murphy. It's working now on Firefox. It wasn't working on Google Chrome a few days ago. I still don't know what the problem was.

Hmm hard to say really without seeing it myself Jeesun Kim but perhaps next time, the Inspector Tool, Console view might give some idea what the problem is :-)
