Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Custom Field Template

The template format is basically same as the one of the rc:custom_field_gui plugin. See the default template and modify it.

Use the cft shortcode. In the edit post, write down just [cft]. If you would like to specify the post ID, [cft post_id=15]. You can also set the template ID like [cft template=1].

If you set the format of the custom fields, use [cft format=0]. Auto Hook of the_content() in the option page of this plugin may help you do this. You can use [cft] shortcodes here. You can switch the cft formats in each category.
