AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Custom Fields for Gutenberg is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Gutenberg category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 17 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Custom Fields for Gutenberg works
Show full descriptionShow less
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.
