Restores the Custom Field meta box for the Gutenberg Block Editor.
Update: This plugin currently is not needed, as WordPress version 5.0+ displays Custom Fields natively. Just click the settings button (three dots) and go to Options, where you will find the option to display the Custom Fields meta box. So this plugin still works great, but it is recommended to use native WP custom fields instead.

Custom Fields for Gutenberg

If you are searching for the solution to display custom fields like they were displayed before Gutenberg - in native wp meta box - this is solution for you. 

Displays old native interface for Custom Fields

This plugin does one thing and does it well. This is how all plugins should be!

Good plugin by a top dev

Restores the Custom Field meta box for the Gutenberg Block Editor.

Tag Selector adds an additional meta box to your page/post edit pages that allows you to select tags for your post/page much the same way you select categories. This is especially nice if you have more tags than you keep track of and don’t have time to wait for predictive text results.

Tag Selector

This plugin is exceptionally useful for bloggers. That said, the reason it received only 4 stars out of 5 is because the meta box shows up at woocommerce products as well, which of course the post tags are irrelevant. I'm sure the same would happen for all other custom post types.
The meta box has to be displayed only on blog posts - other than that... this plugin is perfect, thank you !!!



Very helpful but not "idiot-proof"

I wanted to select tags/no-hierarchy taxonomies just like i select categories and it solves this problem. But it forces to select only one taxonomy. If this feature was optional Would be great.

Almost what i wanted

Tag Selector allows you to select tags for your post/page much the same way you select categories.
