Secure Custom Fields helps us create structured content beyond WordPress’s basic posts and pages, giving our audience the flexibility to organize their websites exactly how they need.

We use SCF to create custom post types like “courses” with dedicated fields for instructors, descriptions, and other course-specific details that go beyond what the standard author field can handle. The intuitive builder makes it straightforward to add over 30 different field types across posts, pages, users, and even custom options pages.

Benefits

• Create custom post types and taxonomies directly from the interface without needing separate plugins
• Manage complex metadata and specialized fields like recipe ingredients or custom user data
• Integrate seamlessly with WordPress’s native design, making it accessible for all skill levels
• Display custom field data in templates for enhanced content presentation

Limitations

• Installing SCF will automatically deactivate overlapping plugins like Advanced Custom Fields to prevent conflicts

This open source plugin streamlines our content organization while giving us the robust management functions we need for complex website structures.
