Meta Field output block
Do you sometimes wonder why a custom field doesn't provide the syntax you need?
Want to know why a location doesn't work with your map plugin, or just need to know the syntax of the saved data?
This plugin, unlike our other plugins, is in permanent development. It works, is free, and does not change your custom field values in the WordPress database (so it is safe). It is intended more as a test tool.
Use this handy plugin that:
- Shows exactly what a custom field has saved in the WordPress database.
- Provide three blocks to show (render) the content of your custom fields front-end
It works with all kinds of custom fields, like ACF, SCF, and ACPT.
The Meta Field (text output) block shows the saved values as a text string
- Shows the context of any custom field type as text output
- Choose a meta key, dropdown or manual override
- Spacing: margin top & bottom
- Alignment
- Can be placed in another block, like the Group block
- Additional class field
For testing purposes, you see the values as saved in the WordPress database.

Alignment
- All blocks have alignment.
- To keep things even more WordPress compatible, the blocks work fine with the group block.
- Just place a block in a group block, set it to group, row, or stack, and select an alignment.
- You can place the group block and its content in a row block, section, or column block from Kadence, Greenshift, etc.
- You can place the selected block in a column, and it adjusts automatically to the column width.
Plugin load
- It's a light plugin (around 60 kb).
- It's loaded on a post or page only when a Meta block is used.
- The stylesheet is light and shared (shared CSS, not 5 stylesheets).
- Not five JS scripts; just one.
- The video facade (mfo-video-facade.js) is loaded only when the video block is used.
Cost
- The best news: the plugin is still free.
- You can use it on your site or your clients' sites; you are not permitted to sell it.
