Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about MetaForge Engine

Yes! MetaForge Engine is 100% GPL-licensed open source software. All 20 core field types (including Group, Post Type Selector, Taxonomy, User Selector, Date/Time, Color Picker, Range, and Button), visual custom post type builders, taxonomy managers, global options pages, and developer PHP helper functions are completely free.
MetaForge Pro unlocks 8 advanced enterprise field types: Repeater fields with drag-and-drop reordering, Flexible Content modular layout builder, Gallery multi-image uploader, Relationship bidirectional selector, oEmbed, Icon Picker, Code Snippet container, and Accordion panels, along with advanced layout workflows.
MetaForge Engine was designed from the ground up as a modern, high-performance Advanced Custom Fields builder. It delivers familiar developer workflows (metaforge_get_field(), metaforge_have_rows(), metaforge_the_row()) combined with modern architectural advantages: single-transient configuration caching to eliminate N+1 database queries, native multi-provider AI schema generation, built-in visual custom post type & taxonomy managers, drag-and-drop post/term ordering, and a 1-click migration tool under MetaForge → Tools.
All custom field data is stored in standard WordPress core database tables (wp_postmeta, wp_termmeta, wp_options). There is zero proprietary data lock-in. Field values can be retrieved at any time using native WordPress functions like get_post_meta($post_id, 'field_name', true).
MetaForge Engine provides clean, zero-lock-in template helpers: * metaforge_get_field('field_name'): Returns formatted field data. * metaforge_the_field('field_name'): Directly echoes sanitized field output. * metaforge_have_rows('repeater_name') & metaforge_the_row(): Iterates through repeaters and flexible content layouts. All functions are defensively wrapped with function_exists(), ensuring your templates never crash if the plugin is deactivated.
Under MetaForge → Tools → Switch to MetaForge, the plugin automatically scans your database for existing custom field groups and legacy configurations and converts them into native MetaForge format in seconds. Once imported, your existing content remains intact, and you can query your data cleanly using MetaForge's template helpers.
Nested Group fields are included free in MetaForge Engine. Repeatable matrix fields (available in MetaForge Pro) bundle repeater rows into optimized, indexed JSON structures, resolving entire repeater trees in a single database read. This eliminates the multi-query performance bottleneck (N+1 queries) found in older custom field plugins.
Available in MetaForge Pro, MetaForge's Flexible Content field allows content creators to stack customizable layouts (such as Hero Banners, 2-Column Text, Quote blocks, or Feature Grids) in any order. In theme templates, developers use metaforge_have_rows('page_sections') and metaforge_get_row_layout() to dynamically include semantic template parts via get_template_part('template-parts/blocks/' . $layout).
Yes! The Gutenberg Block Bridge automatically registers any field group as a native WordPress block (metaforge/ block registry) with zero React or JavaScript boilerplate. Developers can render the block output using simple PHP template files (template-parts/blocks/{slug}.php).
Yes! MetaForge Engine includes full support for programmatic field group registration via metaforge_add_local_field_group(). You can define field groups in your theme's functions.php or a custom functionality plugin, keeping your schemas under version control alongside automated Git JSON Sync.
