List post from a specific category with options like date format, link text, order and more. Locus is a very simple plugin for display content in diferrent ways:
<ul>
<li>Display a single post, page or any available post type.</li>
<li>Display full content or the excerpt, or both!</li>
<li>Category descriptions are visible by default, if any.</li>
<li>Configure date format, link text or hide them all.</li>
<li>Use styles for every block, (refer the stylesheet in <code>locus/control/locus-style.css</code>)</li>
<li>Set display post orders, such random, by date, by author, comment count (popularity) etc</li>
<li>Display thumbnails, if available</li>
<li>Easy to use: you don’t have to learn to use it</li>
<li>Settings per widget, so you can have different widgets.</li>
</ul>

JS Morisset

The JSM Show Post Metadata plugin displays post (ie. posts, pages, and custom post types) meta keys (aka custom field names) and unserialized values in a metabox at the bottom of the post editing page.
Note that if you’re using WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage), available since WooCommerce v8.2, then your WooCommerce orders are NOT post objects and you should use the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/jsm-show-order-meta/" rel="ugc">JSM Show Order Metadata</a> plugin instead.
There are no plugin settings – simply install and activate the plugin.
<h4>Available Filters for Developers</h4>
Filter the post meta shown in the metabox:
<pre><code>'jsmspm_metabox_table_metadata' ( array $metadata, $post_obj )
</code></pre>
Array of regular expressions to exclude meta keys:
<pre><code>'jsmspm_metabox_table_exclude_keys' ( array $exclude_keys, $post_obj )
</code></pre>
Capability required to show post meta:
<pre><code>'jsmspm_show_metabox_capability' ( 'manage_options', $post_obj )
</code></pre>
Show post meta for a post type (defaults to true):
<pre><code>'jsmspm_show_metabox_post_type' ( true, $post_type )
</code></pre>
Capability required to delete post meta:
<pre><code>'jsmspm_delete_meta_capability' ( 'manage_options', $post_obj )
</code></pre>
Icon for the delete post meta button:
<pre><code>'jsmspm_delete_meta_icon_class' ( 'dashicons dashicons-table-row-delete' )

JSM Show Post Metadata

I've started recently to use this plugin to discover post meta values, I must say it's cleaner than other plugins I've used before.

Thanks for the latest update release 2.0.0, the ability to have post meta updated without having to load the page is pretty awesome.

I use the plugin almost everyday. I recommend it to anyone who wants to see what's in post meta.

Keep it up!

Useful and Very Clean Post Meta Viewer Plugin

It's great for letting me see hidden metadata without having to open up the database.  Plus, it's great for allowing non-technical users to see the information without the risk of sending them to the database.  

Super helpful tool!


I'm definitely not making full use of its potential but, for what I need it, it has proved to be dependable and very useful.



Thank you for sharing your work.


Helpful and dependable

Show post metadata (aka custom fields) in a metabox when editing posts / pages - a great tool for debugging issues with post metadata.
