Installation

  1. Upload the folder ajax-post-meta into the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. If your plugin or theme is supported, edit columns will be automatically added to your All Posts page.

Advanced: You may add support for other custom fields and post types using the following filters in your theme’s functions.php file:

function my_ajax_meta_post_types( $post_types ) {
    // Add list of post types to any previously enabled.
    // To complete override, just return an array
    return wp_parse_args( array(
        'post',
        'page',
    ), $post_types );
}
add_filter('ajax_meta_post_types', 'my_ajax_meta_post_types');

function my_ajax_meta_keys($keys) {
    // Array of meta keys to enable editing for
    return wp_parse_args( array(
        // Example AIOSEO meta keys
        '_aioseop_title'       => __('Title Override'),
        '_aioseop_description' => __('Description'),
        '_aioseop_keywords'    => __('Keywords'),
        '_aioseop_titleatr'    => __('Title Attribute'),
        '_aioseop_menulabel'   => __('Menu Label'),

        // General syntax
        // 'meta_key'       => __('Column Title'),
    ), $keys );
}
add_filter('ajax_meta_keys', 'my_ajax_meta_keys');
