<p>Native Custom Fields is a modern WordPress plugin for creating custom content types, meta fields, and options pages using WordPress’ own native component system.</p>

<p>Instead of shipping a proprietary UI framework or custom database structure, Native Custom Fields leverages WordPress core technologies such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>@wordpress/scripts</li>
<li>@wordpress/components</li>
<li>@wordpress/elements</li>
<li>@wordpress/icons</li>
<li>@wordpress/data</li>
</ul>
<p>This ensures a seamless, future-proof experience that evolves together with WordPress core.</p>
<h4>Why Native Custom Fields?</h4>
<p>Most custom field plugins introduce their own UI systems, internal data storage layers, or hidden configuration post types.</p>
<p>Native Custom Fields follows a different philosophy:</p>
<p>• Uses WordPress native UI components<br />
• Stores configuration in wp_options<br />
• Stores data in postmeta, termmeta, and usermeta<br />
• Does not create unnecessary database tables<br />
• Does not register hidden configuration post types<br />
• Follows WordPress coding standards</p>
<p>The result is a clean, lightweight, and maintainable solution.</p>

<p>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.</p>


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.
