2 Secure Custom Fields By WordPress.org
Secure Custom Fields (SCF) makes it easy to add and manage custom fields in WordPress, turning your site into a flexible content management tool. You can quickly create fields for posts, pages, users, and more, and display them in your templates. SCF also lets you register new post types and taxonomies from its interface, giving you more control without extra plugins or code. The plugin is user-friendly and fits right into the WordPress design. Note: Installing SCF will disable similar plugins, such as Advanced Custom Fields, to prevent conflicts.
