AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Native Custom Fields – Custom Content Types and Meta Fields is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). 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.
Pros
- +Published by Kadim Gültekin — established developer track record
Cons
- −No public reviews yet — fit and reliability are unverified

How Native Custom Fields – Custom Content Types and Meta Fields works
Show full descriptionShow less
Native Custom Fields is a modern WordPress plugin for creating custom content types, meta fields, and options pages using WordPress’ own native component system.
Instead of shipping a proprietary UI framework or custom database structure, Native Custom Fields leverages WordPress core technologies such as:
@wordpress/scripts
@wordpress/components
@wordpress/elements
@wordpress/icons
@wordpress/data
This ensures a seamless, future-proof experience that evolves together with WordPress core.
Why Native Custom Fields? Most custom field plugins introduce their own UI systems, internal data storage layers, or hidden configuration post types.
Native Custom Fields follows a different philosophy:
- Uses WordPress native UI components
- Stores configuration in wp_options
- Stores data in postmeta, termmeta, and usermeta
- Does not create unnecessary database tables
- Does not register hidden configuration post types
- Follows WordPress coding standards
The result is a clean, lightweight, and maintainable solution.
