Restores the Custom Field meta box for the Gutenberg Block Editor.



== Description ==

Restores the Custom Field meta box for the Gutenberg Block Editor.

__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 great, but it is recommended to use native WP custom fields instead. For more information, read [this post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-read-7/).


**Features**

* Easy to use
* Clean code
* Built with the WordPress API
* Lightweight, fast and flexible
* Works great with other WordPress plugins
* Plugin options configurable via settings screen
* Focused on flexibility, performance, and security
* One-click restore plugin default options

**Options**

* Specify the post types that should display custom fields

**Planned Features**

* Ajax method to Delete custom fields


**Privacy**

This plugin does not collect or store any user data. It does not set any cookies, and it does not connect to any third-party locations. Thus, this plugin does not affect user privacy in any way.

**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.

== Upgrade Notice ==

To upgrade this plugin, remove the old version and replace with the new version. Or just click "Update" from the Plugins screen and let WordPress do it for you automatically.

Note: uninstalling the plugin from the WP Plugins screen results in the removal of all settings and data from the WP database. Custom Fields will NOT be removed.



== Frequently Asked Questions ==

**Is this plugin needed with WP 5.0 and beyond?**

No. As of WordPress 5.0, Custom Fields are natively supported, so this plugin is not needed to view custom fields on posts (via the "Edit Post" screen). Understand however that custom fields may not be supported after 2021, so this plugin may again be useful if/when that happens.
