Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about YAML Custom Fields

A short list of the fields a page gets. Each field has a name, a label and a type. It's written in YAML, a simple text format with one setting per line.

Writers don't. They only fill in fields. To show fields on the website, the theme needs one line per field. The Copy code button next to each field copies that line for you.

Yes, classic and block themes. A child theme is scanned together with its parent, so the parent's templates are listed too. Block themes have no template files to edit. Use the [ycf field="name"] shortcode in a Shortcode block.

Yes. The fields are in a "Custom fields" box below the content. You don't need the Classic Editor plugin.

Yes, the WordPress REST API. Every page and post has a yaml_cf object. There are also routes for site details and collections. The Documentation page has the details.

Posts, pages and other public content types, like an "Events" type from a theme or plugin.

Only administrators change schemas and settings. Writers fill in fields on posts they may edit.

Nothing is lost. The content stays.

All its data is removed: schemas, site details, collections and page content. To keep the content, tick Keep the content if the plugin is deleted under YAML CF → Settings first.

Use YAML CF → Export & Import to save it to a file. Images and files aren't in that file, so copy the media library too. Then Content Check finds anything missing.
