Edit Custom Fields

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Taking over a site from another developer, there were a lot of old custom fields that were no longer in use after I rebuilt it, which made it hard to get an overview when adding new ones. This plugin worked very well – thanks!Worked fine for me on a WordPress version 6.9 site.

   Installed and run on a WordPress working on version 6.8.1 with Php version 8.2 without major issues. The plugin moved fast and did the job in seconds. Highly recommended!

   Although the plugin hasn’t been tested with the current WordPress release, it did the job for me. It cleaned up several unused CPT orphans and cleared them from my website’s database without causing any problems. Hope the developer will test and update the plugin with the current version of WordPress so it feels a bit more secure to use.

   Not impressed. Description says “This plugin offers a simple interface to edit or delete any Custom Field names/keys you may have created in the post/page editor. Deleting a Custom Field also deletes the associated content, so use with caution!”It only deleted the CONTENT from a custom field, but it definitely does NOT delete the field.I have so much meta-garbage collected over the years, and there is obviously no way to clean this mess up.

   Was thinking of deleting the custom fields one by one on a large site. Could delete them all in one go because of this plugin. Time Saver!

   As others have said – does the job well for cleaning out junk from past themes + plug-ins. Deserves the praise. To have manually ‘cleaned’ 100s of posts from years of WP remodeling would have pushed me over the edge. THANK YOU for this plug-in!
