You have no idea how long ive been looking for those few lines of code, didnt want the over head of a plugin so this is perfect. I stuck a

if ( is_singular() ) { }

around the top so that the tags only show up on the singular pages.

Hey Sarah,

This is cool and everything, but this is not even close to scratching the surface of what can be done with custom fields. You can do some radical things with it.

For evidence of what can be done with custom fields, I’d like to point you to my site, ShortFormBlog, which uses nothing but custom fields to organize its posts, along with some looped PHP and some if-then-else statements.

By the way, the plugin More Fields is a godsend when working with custom fields, though I had to do some hacking of a plugin to make my RSS feed show the posts.

Any thoughts? Please ask!

that was great info for users like me who are still trying to sort out small technicalities. Coding is not a comfortable thought for most of the users however with posts like these there is bound to be better clarity.

Hi Mike, well you were one of the people who said they didn’t understand things last time around so I’m hoping that’s changed a little now? However, no you couldn’t put script in there, just content of some kind, whether that’s a word, a sentence, a URL etc. Script wouldn’t execute in this manner.

However, there is a lot that custom fields can do, and save time for Just think of them as extra text inputs on the page that you can display on the front end.

It’s amazing how the custom fields could be used. You could basically put a whole script in there.

If you need to delete lots of custom fields after you deactivate a plugin or add lots of custom fields you can use my plugin.

I hate editing the code… I always feel like I’m going to break something (and I have…) but this doesn’t seem so bad.
