With Ultimate Fields you can easily create fields in the admin. Those fields can be displayed when you are editing a post or page (any post type actually) or in an options page (ex. Theme Options) anywhere in the admin.
Please visit https://www.ultimate-fields.com/ for more details.
Features
- Easy to use.
- Various field types (listed below)
- Support for Post Type and Options Page as locations for fields. All locations have advanced placement rules, in order to only show them when needed.
- WYSIWYG Field Creation
- Focused on developers: A clean object-oriented API allows you to cleanly define all of your fields through code.
- Perfected tabs, alignment and styles
- Import, Export and in-theme JSON Synchronization
- JavaScript-based interface
- Unlimited field nesting with the Repeater and Complex fields
- Conditional Logic between fields in the same container (and ones on upper levels)

Fields
- Text
- Textarea
- WYSIWYG Editor
- Password
- Number

- Image
- WP Object (for selection of an object among posts, terms and users)
- WP Objects (for multiple objects)

Repeaters
Repeaters can be used to add repeatable groups of fields. You can combine a text and a file field into a Slide group and allow the user to add as many slides as he needs. The value is saved in a single field!
Additionally you can add different types of groups into a single repeater. This way the user could add both Video Slides and Image Slides through the same place.
Embedding in themes and plugins
Ultimate Fields has all the necessary logic built in. Just place it wherever you need and include ultimate-fields.php

ChangeLog
3.0.2 Bugfix Release with a couple of small features
[FIX] Limiting preview image sizes to 100% to ensure that if thumbnail is not available as an image size, images are not overflowing.

[FIX] Values are now properly saved and loaded for WYSIWYG editors, including empty paragraphs and etc.
[FIX] Improved handling of repeater values in the REST API: The iterator format of the repeater field was not playing nicely with the REST API.
