In WordPress, a Custom Field is customized metadata associated with a WordPress Post.

Description

Metadata is handled with key/value pairs.

  • The key is the name of the metadata element.
  • The value is the information that will appear in the meta-data list on each individual post that the information is associated with.

Keys can be used more than once per post. For example, if you were reading two different books (perhaps a technical book at work and a fiction at home), you could create a "reading" key and use it twice on the same post, once for each book.
