Some cck fields not turning into HTML This happens in my custom Zen-based theme where I made a custom node type 'events'. I put print_r($node) inside of my node-events.tpl.php which gave all the ckk fields including the ones that didn't turn into HTML i.e. not displayed.

When viewing this type of node in a stock drupal theme, this problem doesn't occur so everything gets displayed as desired.
This means my viewing permissions are in check and also under admin->content type-> 'events' -> display fields hidden is turned off (set to standard just the way it was when I didn't have the problem)
I still don't think I'm understanding the symptom.

If something shows up in one theme and not the other I would check if you have anything wierd in your template.php or if you have overridden any of the content-field.tpl.php files
