  Hi! I’ve never seen “custom fields” in screen options & don’t know what it is, so I presume that it’s either a wordpress.org-world feature or that it’s theme-dependent.

  We did have them here on WordPress.com, a long, long, time ago and they were removed entirely. Now only available for ORG users.

  What exactly is it you are wanting to do with a custom field?
