Codeideal Open Fields

Codeideal Open Fields lets you add custom fields to posts, pages, custom post types, taxonomies, and users. The admin interface is built with React and TypeScript — fast, responsive, and intuitive. All features are free. No premium tier. No locked functionality. Quick Start get_field( 'my_field' ) — retrieve any field value. the_field( 'my_field' ) — echo a field value directly. Template Examples Simple field: Repeater loop: User field (with prefix): Full API reference and guides: openfields.codeideal.com/docs ACF-Compatible API If you know ACF, you already know Open Fields. The template API uses the same function names:

• get_field() / the_field()
• get_fields() / update_field() / delete_field()
• have_rows() / the_row() / get_sub_field() / the_sub_field()
• get_row() / get_rows() / reset_rows() / get_row_index()
• get_field_object() / get_sub_field_object()

When ACF is also active, these wrappers are not loaded — no conflicts. Both plugins store data as standard WordPress meta, so they can coexist. Every function also has a prefixed version (e.g. cofld_get_field()) that is always available regardless of other plugins. Field Types

• Basic: Text, Textarea, Number, Email, URL, Password
• Choice: Select, Checkbox, Radio, Switch
• Date & Time: Date, Time, DateTime, Color Picker
• Media: Image, File, Gallery
• Content: WYSIWYG Editor, Link
• Relational: Post Object, Taxonomy, User
• Layout: Repeater, Group

Location Rules Assign field groups to:

• Post types (including custom post types)
• Page templates
• Post status / format / category
• Taxonomy terms
• User roles

Source Code The admin JS and CSS are compiled from TypeScript/React source. All other files are uncompressed.
