Custom Fields for Gutenberg vs ZoloBlocks – Advanced Gutenberg Blocks, Website Builder & Page Design Toolkit

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. 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 Translation ready Options Specify the post types that should display custom fields Exclude custom fields that are protected/hidden Exclude custom fields with empty values Exclude specific custom fields by name Planned Features Ajaxify adding of new Custom Fields 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.
