<p>Historically, the main purpose of SF Archiver was to allow users to simply add links in the menus to any Custom Post Type archive.<br />
Since WordPress 4.4 adds this feature, it has been removed from SF Archiver version 3.0 (see the “Developers” tab for older versions). Still, SF Archiver provides some other cool stuff:</p>
<ol>
<li>Set the number of posts per page to list for each post type.</li>
<li>Quickly visit your archives by using a handy link in your administration area (in your posts list, see the icon between the title and the “Add New” button).</li>
<li>Small quirk: when displaying one of your Custom Post Type single, “highlight” the corresponding archive menu item (WordPress does the same for the Posts when they are not displayed on the front page).</li>
<li>Small WordPress bug fix: WordPress wrongly “highlights” the Blog menu item when a Custom Post Type single or archive is displayed.</li>
</ol>

Add some small and useful utilities for managing your Custom Post Types archives.

JS Morisset

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>There are no plugin settings – simply install and activate the plugin.</p>
<h4>Available Filters for Developers</h4>
<p>Filter the post meta shown in the metabox:</p>
<pre><code>'jsmspm_metabox_table_metadata' ( array $metadata, $post_obj )
</code></pre>
<p>Array of regular expressions to exclude meta keys:</p>
<pre><code>'jsmspm_metabox_table_exclude_keys' ( array $exclude_keys, $post_obj )
</code></pre>
<p>Capability required to show post meta:</p>
<pre><code>'jsmspm_show_metabox_capability' ( 'manage_options', $post_obj )
</code></pre>
<p>Show post meta for a post type (defaults to true):</p>
<pre><code>'jsmspm_show_metabox_post_type' ( true, $post_type )
</code></pre>
<p>Capability required to delete post meta:</p>
<pre><code>'jsmspm_delete_meta_capability' ( 'manage_options', $post_obj )
</code></pre>
<p>Icon for the delete post meta button:</p>
<pre><code>'jsmspm_delete_meta_icon_class' ( 'dashicons dashicons-table-row-delete' )
</code></pre>

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


Very handy and usefull when I work on post types

This plugin is incredibly helpful when converting and managing legacy websites, especially for uncovering all kinds of hidden metadata - even the obscure ones.


Thanks a lot for this great plugin!

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