Advanced WordPress – Plugins for Working with Custom Fields
I am playing around with using wordpress to set up a directory of places. I know that WordPress can be a very robust platform by using the custom fields but I don’t know much about coding and how to use advanced features of wordpress.
I found this post (from Steve Taylor who is a WordPress Designer in London) that offers some very detailed information on customfields but also links to some plugins.
Here are a few of the plugins that work with custom fields:
- Magic Fields – this plugin has lots of options and the plugin developers have provided a getting started tutorial and wiki with additional info.
- Custom Field Template – this looks like it could be very robust – but the documentation is not in English so I wasn’t able to read more about it.
- Flutter – another plugin that Steve Taylor links to – it looks like this plugin is no longer supported and has not been updated for WordPress 3.0. According to the WordPress Forums – some of the people who worked on Flutter are working on Magic Fields and there is a way to migrate from Flutter to Magic Fields
- Verve Meta Boxes – another plugin that lets you work with custom fields – provides lots of options and has some help info.
- Meta Extension – this plugin seems to be best suited to adding media and videos in the custom fields. The website did not offer lots of documentation.
