Best Custom Fields WordPress Plugins

Custom fields plugins extend the default WordPress post editor by allowing developers and content managers to attach structured metadata — text, numbers, dates, images, repeaters, and more — to posts, pages, users, and taxonomies. Tools like Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and Meta Box have become foundational to building custom WordPress themes and headless CMS architectures. They are widely used by developers building real estate listings, job boards, directory sites, and product catalogs where structured data is critical. Many custom fields plugins also integrate with REST API output and Gutenberg blocks, making them compatible with modern decoupled WordPress setups.
