Flow Byte

<p>Flow Fields is a WordPress plugin that allows you to easily add custom fields to your posts, pages, and other custom post types. It is designed to be lightweight and intuitive, while providing a robust set of features for managing custom fields.</p>
<p>With Flow Fields, you can create custom meta boxes with fields such as text, number, date, file, image, textarea, repeater, and more. You can also set default values, specify required fields, and add instructions for each field.</p>
<p>In the near future, we plan to add support for custom post type management, taxonomies, and shortcodes.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>To create a custom meta box with fields, go to the “Flow Boxes” menu in the WordPress dashboard and click “Add New Box”. Give your meta box a title and select the post types that it should apply to. Submit the box, then click “Fields & Options” Then, click “Add Field” to add a field to your meta box.</p>
<p>There are many different field types to choose from, including text, number, date, file, image, textarea, repeater, and more.</p>
<p>Once you’ve added all of your fields, click “Save Meta Box” to save your changes. Your custom meta box will now be displayed on the edit screen for your selected post types.</p>
<p>To get the value of a custom field in your code, you can use the get_field() function. This function takes three parameters: the field’s key and the post ID and format (sanitizes data on true/false). It will return the value of the field for the given post.</p>
