WordPress Custom Fields Missing When ACF is Active

The functionality to hide the WordPress custom fields was introduced in ACF version 5.5.13 but then made default in 5.6.0, it was made default to speed up the page speed  load of the admin edit page/post screen.

To reverse this behaviour you can add in your functions.php

 add_filter('acf/settings/remove_wp_meta_box', '__return_false');
