Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Modern Fields™ brings a visual field builder to the WordPress block editor without sacrificing flexibility.

Create reusable field groups, assign them to posts, pages, custom post types, or options screens, and render them with purpose-built Gutenberg blocks & block bindings.

No code required! Everything is built with native WordPress APIs so it feels at home in your admin and keeps performance top of mind.

Highlights

  • Build field groups visually with native WordPress UI components.
  • Choose from a growing library of field blocks: text, textarea, toggle, number, range, button group, image, file, color picker, and more.
  • Attach field groups to post types, page templates, or options screens with fine-grained location rules.
  • Manage permissions with role-aware controls for who can edit or manage field groups.
  • Output field data in templates with a specific meta bindings block.

What are the advantages of using Modern Fields rather than Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)?

✔ Native controls from the block Editor for a better experience

✔ Design field groups visually within the block editor

✔ Configure your fields more quickly

✔ More locations to display field groups (modal, panel)

✔ Ready-to-use patterns for stunning options pages

✔ Display fields in your template without code with the Field Value block, no need to code

✔ Use query block to filter results by meta

✔ And more to come in the premium version
