How can I define default custom fields list in wordpress?
I want to give users ability to choose custom fields from list when they create or edit post in admin. On that coustom fields I will base design and make different styles when users choose "youtube" or "image". It's impossible to find any solution for that simple problem in web.
WordPress takes existing custom fields and presents them in a select box. So, once you've created a custom field once on one page it will be available on all pages in the WP Admin. Just click "Enter New" about the Custom Field select box and it will allow you to enter in a new meta key.
More Technical
Custom Fields are stored in your Metadata database table, whereas the custom field name is the meta_key and the custom field value is the meta_value.
When an edit page loads it take a grouping of all custom fields (minus fields that are used for internal use) and presents them in the select drop down.
Retrieving
Retrieving a custom field would be as follows:
$custom_field = get_post_meta($post->ID,"CUSTOM FIELD NAME",true);
Predefined Custom Fields
WordPress offers a popular plugin Advanced Custom Fields that allows you to create different types of custom fields with preset values. This helps content editors to choose the appropriate value attached with the appropriate custom field.

Now I have a REST API which gives list of names,
What I want is to show the list of those names into Names Field which is a dropdown (select field).

I would like to display my custom posts on frontend.
I made a back office for a mobile app, but I'd like to create access from frontend to display information from my back office. First, I try to display single content from a custom post. I need to filter these pages by a custom ACF field equal to my current user.
And I need to check if the user has the good role. I've already configured all my Custom posts, all my ACF fields, and custom roles. I made a specific plugin for my back office.
I would like to create specific shortcodes to display the differents single views and the different lists I'll will need for my back-office..
Custom option
Value
Custom posts name
page_clubs
ACF field related
administrators
Custom role
club_administrators, or club_members

I had Taxonomy category that must had such opportunity to add multiple fields from admin panel and get them like the picture.So for example what i can create that will give the user opportunity to add the fields dynamically and how can I get their values?
I found a solution and used plugin Custom Field Suite
It has a field type Loop and it was what I needed to add how many how needed.
I've created a custom post type for a client (gravesite), and it has several custom fields to fill out ('bcva_branch_text', 'bcva_rank', 'bcva_start_serve', 'bcva_end_serve', 'bcva_dob', 'bcva_dod', 'bcva_cemetary', 'bcva_latitude', 'bcva_longitude').
The client wants these fields to be searchable, but I'm having trouble finding a way to do it. The WordPress Search will search the custom post type's title and 'editor' fields, but how do I get WP to search the added custom fields as well?
Thanks!
The Custom Fields Search plugin looks like it will do what you need. It seems to let you choose which custom fields will be included in search.
I am creating a plugin in Wordpress with a custom post type and custom fields. I have enabled the default Wordpress custom fields metabox for my post type, but I would like to customize some of the output:
Limit the Custom Field Name select list to only include fields that have been added to my custom post type (Don't include custom fields added to other post types).
Exclude custom fields added to only my custom post type from all other post types (Don't include them in the Custom Field Name select box for other post types).
Change the Custom Fields metabox title ("Custom Fields"), label ("Add New Custom Field"), button ("Add Custom Field"), and description ("Custom fields can be used to add extra metadata...")
Basically, I am trying to leverage the Wordpress unlimited custom fields functionality for my custom post type, but I want to customize it to the needs of one specific custom post type.
Can this be done? (I do not want to use Advanced Custom Fields for this.)
A good alternative to Advanced Custom Fields is Simple Fields:
http://simple-fields.com/
It allows you to make field groups and then use Post Connecters to link them to certain post types. This will allow you to link only desired fields to your custom post types (point 1), and therefore not show the fields on other post types (point 2).
You can also title the field group and labels however you like (point 3).
