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 * 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. Custom Fields for Gutenberg is developed and maintained by [Jeff Starr](https://x.com/perishable), 15-year [WordPress developer](https://plugin-planet.com/) and [book author](https://books.perishablepress.com/). **Support development** I develop and maintain this free plugin with love for the WordPress community.

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 2022, so this plugin may again be useful if/when that happens. For more information, check out [this post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-read-7/). ### Got a question?

I installed this plugin and it worked… but it is quirky and difficult to work with. (Only one custom field can be saved at a time and once saved, a field cannot be easily edited or deleted). But it turns out that the custom field function can now be restored without a plugin as an advanced option setting. (With edit screen open, click the 3 dots in upper right, to the right of the gear icon; then click “options” on the drop down menu; then under the“ Advanced Panels” section, check the “Custom Fields” box). ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/114632384139d4656483ae599d9fd813711657df10645aaae35c31837d7887bb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-20238/)󠁿 [itbuero](https://profiles.wordpress.org/itbuero/) Ọ̀pẹ 23, 2018 Helpful Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – it brings back the custum fields function. Only bad thing: using 3 custom fields, means that I have to save the page 3 times Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá:– each time after each custom field.
