Custom Field Suite

Custom Field Suite (CFS) is a lightweight custom fields plugin for WordPress.

Custom Field Suite (CFS) lets you add custom fields to various edit screens. Each "field group" lives in its own meta box. Add as many field groups as you need!

Features

CFS is a fork of Advanced Custom Fields v2. The main goals of CFS are stability, performance, and avoiding feature bloat.

Why use Custom Field Suite?

  • CFS is super easy to use.
  • CFS is stable. We thoroughly test our code before each release.
  • Performance matters. CFS makes only a handful of database queries, and caching is used throughout.
  • CFS is fast and uses few server resources.
  • Custom fields can be searchable (using the default WordPress search) with the help of plugins like Search Everything.
