Secure Custom Fields

Description

Secure Custom Fields (SCF) turns WordPress sites into a fully-fledged content management system by giving you all the tools to do more with your data.

Use the SCF plugin to take full control of your WordPress edit screens, custom field data, and more.

Add fields on demand.
The SCF field builder allows you to quickly and easily add fields to WP edit screens with only the click of a few buttons! Whether it’s something simple like adding an “author” field to a book review post, or something more complex like the structured data needs of an ecommerce site or marketplace, SCF makes adding fields to your content model easy.

Add them anywhere.
Fields can be added all over WordPress including posts, pages, users, taxonomy terms, media, comments and even custom options pages! It couldn’t be simpler to bring structure to the WordPress content creation experience.

Show them everywhere.
Load and display your custom field values in any theme template file with our hassle-free, developer friendly functions! Whether you need to display a single value or generate content based on a more complex query, the out-of-the-box functions of SCF make templating a dream for developers of all levels of experience.

Any Content, Fast.
Turning WordPress into a true content management system is not just about custom fields. Creating new custom post types and taxonomies is an essential part of building custom WordPress sites. Registering post types and taxonomies is now possible right in the SCF UI, speeding up the content modeling workflow without the need to touch code or use another plugin.

Simply beautiful and intentionally accessible.
For content creators and those tasked with data entry, the field user experience is as intuitive as they could desire while fitting neatly into the native WordPress experience. Accessibility standards are regularly reviewed and applied, ensuring SCF is able to empower as close to anyone as possible.

Documentation and developer guides.

You stole the original ACF? Not cool. It’s not just about messing with years of hard work, but think about all those WordPress sites now running code the ACF team didn’t approve. Kinda scary when you think about it. Hope this doesn’t become a trend in the open-source world.

I was surprised to find that the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin on my site was replaced with Secure Custom Fields (SCF) without my consent. The new plugin doesn’t meet my needs, and I prefer the original ACF plugin. I hope to see this issue resolved so users can choose which version they want to use. Moreover, this abrupt change has severely impacted my trust in the SCF plugin itself. Having a plugin I depend on replaced without clear communication feels misleading and unprofessional. Trust is essential when using plugins that play a critical role in my site’s functionality, and this experience has made me doubt the reliability of SCF. I would much prefer to continue using the original ACF plugin developed by its trusted author.

Forking this plugin would have been childish. Stealing it is a slap in the face to the opensource community. Matt is trying his best to become some sort of off-brand Elon Musk and the only losers are WordPress users and developers.
