How Do I Add a Custom Field to a WordPress Post?

Adding a custom field to a WordPress post can be a handy way to keep track of specific information about a post. Custom fields are simply fields that are not included by default in a post.

To add a custom field to a post, first go to the post editing screen and click on the “Add New Custom Field” button.

Enter the name of the custom field in the “Field Name” field and provide a description of the field in the “Field Description” field. Click on the “Save” button to add the custom field to the post.

Now that the custom field has been created, you can use it to store any information that you want to keep track of for a post. To use the custom field, click on the “Edit Custom Field” button next to the field name.

This will open the “Custom Field Settings” screen.

Here, you can configure the behavior of the custom field. You can decide whether the field is mandatory, whether users can enter a blank value for the field, and whether the field is visible to users when they first add a post.

Finally, you can click on the “Save Custom Field” button to save the custom field settings and add the configuration to the post.
