Native Custom Fields is a modern WordPress plugin for creating custom content types, meta fields, and options pages using WordPress’ own native component system.
Instead of shipping a proprietary UI framework or custom database structure, Native Custom Fields leverages WordPress core technologies such as:
- @wordpress/scripts
- @wordpress/components
- @wordpress/elements
- @wordpress/icons
- @wordpress/data
This ensures a seamless, future-proof experience that evolves together with WordPress core.
Why Native Custom Fields?
Most custom field plugins introduce their own UI systems, internal data storage layers, or hidden configuration post types.
Native Custom Fields follows a different philosophy:
• Uses WordPress native UI components • Stores configuration in wp_options • Stores data in postmeta, termmeta, and usermeta • Does not create unnecessary database tables • Does not register hidden configuration post types • Follows WordPress coding standards
The result is a clean, lightweight, and maintainable solution.
