Restores the Custom Field meta box for Gutenberg.



== Description ==

Update: This plugin currently is not needed, as WordPress version 5.0+ displays Custom Fields natively. Just click the settings button (three dots) and go to Options, where you will find the option to display the Custom Fields meta box. So this plugin still works, but not as well as that provided by WordPress.

I will keep this plugin alive "just in case" WordPress ever decides to remove Custom Fields from Gutenberg Block Editor. Always good to have a backup plan.

**GDPR**

This plugin does not collect any data. So it does _not_ do anything to make your site _less_ compliant with GDPR. I have done my best to ensure that this plugin is 100% GDPR compliant, but I'm not a lawyer so can't guarantee anything. To determine if your site is GDPR compliant, please consult an attorney.

**Usage**

Works just like the original "Custom Fields" meta box, except:

* __Edit custom field__     — make any changes and then click the Post "Update" or "Publish" button
* __Add new custom field__  — add new custom field, click "Update" or "Publish", and then reload the page
* __Delete custom field__   — set the field custom field Key/Name to a blank value, click "Update" or "Publish", then reload the page


**Uninstalling**

This plugin cleans up after itself. All plugin settings will be removed from your database when the plugin is uninstalled via the Plugins screen. Custom Fields will NOT be removed.
