Enhance the default WordPress admin search by including custom fields (post meta) in search results. 
This plugin seamlessly extends the post listing (edit.php) search functionality, allowing administrators to quickly find content based on values stored in custom fields.
It works out of the box with no configuration required—just activate and start searching. 
Especially useful for sites that rely heavily on custom fields, such as those built with ACF or other meta-based data structures.
Lightweight, efficient, and fully integrated with the native WordPress admin experience.

Meta Ledger – Track, compare, and restore post meta Changes


I've been developing WooCommerce sites for years and debugging meta field problems was always painful - either var_dump everywhere or digging through the database manually.



What I really like:




Source tracking shows exactly which file/line changed the meta (huge for finding rogue plugins)



Side-by-side diff view makes it easy to spot what changed



One-click restore saved me twice already when a bulk edit went wrong



WP-CLI support is a nice touch for staging/production workflows




Clean code, follows WP standards, lightweight. This should be in every developer's toolkit.


Finally a proper way to debug meta field issues.

Automatically track all post meta changes with versioned history, field-level diffs, and restore functionality.
