## Beschreibung

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!

This is not meant to be a powerful plugin in the vein of [Advanced Custom Fields](http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/).

Only users with role Editor and above have access to this plugin.

## Installation

 1. Upload `edit-custom-fields.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ menu in WordPress

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.
