I've created some custom fields to make it easier to add specific list items to a section in wordpress then I deleted the post and the custom fields disappear.
Does anybody knows how to keep a custom field after deleting the original post where they where created?
you should use an custom meta box.
In this you can specify your values so each post can access the values:

I'm new to WordPress and doesn't much about it. I am making property listing plugin for WordPress I want to add Price field/(numeric type)
.I don't want to use plugin and custom fields. I want the field as shown
You can use a metabox to add a new box to the Admin Frontend. If its done, you need a filter to handle the inputs value for the backend. For more detailed helped, you need to provide more informations about your plugin.
See: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_meta_box/
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've a custom post-type "video" and i enabled custom fields already.

i tried couple of tutorials on tutsplus and other sites but not get working as i need.
anyone can help.
Wordpress has a built in api function, add_meta_box which you can use to output the form fields for your post meta. in the post_type argument you need to put 'video'
In order to capture the form input you need to use the save_post action, take a look here
Easiest way is to use a plugin like Advanced Custom Fields. You'll have a nice interface to add your custom fields and to choose on which post type to show them.
When adding a new post the custom fields from a previous post are showing as meta data for the new post. Is there some way to clear these fields when a new post is being created or is there possibly an issue with my installation?
I think this is a list of available custom fields if you talking about custom fields list in the select box below post editor, otherwise it's impossible that other fields were copied from previous post without any plugin interaction.
As part of my theme install, I'd like to add a set of custom field options to the wordpress database that would be available to all posts as long as my theme is active.
For example, I'd like to add these fields:
custom-image-1
custom-image-2
custom-image-3
And also these
custom-image-1-link
custom-image-2-link
custom-image-3-link
And then when a user goes to add or edit a post, they can insert values for each of these fields if they choose to...
You simply have to create a post and add these custom fields once to have them proposed for every next posts (in the custom fields part of the form).
If you need to create a more integrated interface for these extra fields, you might be better off creating a plugin or looking for existing ones, such as this one.
Use the add_meta_box function that comes with WordPress.
