TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress theme and plugin developers who need to add custom fields to posts, pages, custom post types, users, and comments. It solves the problem of manually building repetitive metabox and field code by providing a single API that generates fields and handles saving automatically.

  • Custom fields for posts, pages, users
  • Generates option pages
  • Single API across object types
  • Multiple field types (text, textarea, wysiwyg, datepicker, etc.)
  • Metadata groups (metaboxes)
  • Include/exclude fields by object ID
  • Add fields to admin columns
  • Field-level capability restrictions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Custom Metadata Manager

Because the UI approach has been done many times before, and a code-based approach aligns more closely with the existing WordPress model for registering content, such as post types and taxonomies. This is a developer feature aimed at site builders. The main benefit becomes clear when you work across multiple environments (development, staging and production): you can replicate interfaces and features without worrying about database synchronisation.
We are namespacing our public functions, and you should too. The x_ prefix keeps the plugin's functions from clashing with anything else in WordPress core, themes or other plugins.
See DEVELOPERS.md for full instructions, and the custom_metadata_examples.php file for worked examples.
