Plugin Description
Just Custom Fields adds ability to extend your Posts, Pages (and other custom post types) and Taxonomies with additional fields. After installation, you will see a simple settings page, which is self-explanatory to use.
We use the standard WordPress PostMeta API and TaxonomyMeta API to save fields data, so you can use standard WordPress functions in your themes/plugins to get data.
IMPORTANT We do not recommend update plugins on your existing sites from version 2.* to version 3.0+.
JCF v3.0+ is not compatible with versions 2.*, so some field settings can be lost (and as a result – wrong values on post edit pages).
Plugin supports such field types:
- Input text
- Select Box
- Multiple Select Box
- Checkbox (single and multiple)
- Textarea (you can use WordPress editor too)
- Datepicker
- Simple Media (files and images upload)
- Table
- Fields Collection (repeatable fields groups)
- Related Content (to set a relation to another Post/Page or Custom Post Type)

Starting from v2.0 we have different options to save plugin configuration:
- Ability to set Fields Settings global if you have MultiSite. So you can set them once, without copying all settings to every new site.
- Ability to save Fields Settings to a file system (inside theme or wp-content folder). We expect this option will be popular among the developers. It will be much easier to move your fields’ settings between site versions (dev/production).
Starting from v2.2:
- Simple Media field is now a single file only (before it was multiple). It uses new media upload box from WordPress and saves post thumbnail ID (before it was just a file url). So now you can use the get_the_post_thumbnail() function to work with attachments.
- All fields now have “Shortcodes” and hints how to use them inside the templates for non-professional developers.
For easy migrations between different sites, we have Export/Import options.
