Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about YAML Custom Fields

YAML frontmatter is a structured way to define metadata for content. It's commonly used in static site generators and headless CMS systems. YAML Custom Fields brings this approach to WordPress themes.

While ACF is a comprehensive custom fields solution, YAML Custom Fields focuses on YAML-based schemas that are portable and version-controllable. It's ideal for developers who prefer code-first approaches and want simpler, more predictable data structures.

Yes! YAML Custom Fields works with any WordPress theme. You define schemas for your templates and use simple PHP functions to retrieve the data in your template files.

Yes, YAML Custom Fields is compatible with both the Classic and Block (Gutenberg) editors. The custom fields appear below the editor regardless of which editor you're using.

Your data remains in the database. Only when you delete the plugin (not just deactivate) will it clean up all settings, schemas, and custom field data.

Currently, YAML Custom Fields supports pages and posts only. Support for custom post types including WooCommerce products may be added in future versions.
