Modern Fields™ brings a visual field builder to the WordPress block editor without sacrificing flexibility.
Create reusable field groups, assign them to posts, pages, custom post types, or options screens, and render them with purpose-built Gutenberg blocks & block bindings.
No code required! Everything is built with native WordPress APIs so it feels at home in your admin and keeps performance top of mind.
Highlights
- Build field groups visually with native WordPress UI components.
- Choose from a growing library of field blocks: text, textarea, toggle, number, range, button group, image, file, color picker, and more.
- Attach field groups to post types, page templates, or options screens with fine-grained location rules.
- Manage permissions with role-aware controls for who can edit or manage field groups.
- Output field data in templates with a specific meta bindings block.
What are the advantages of using Modern Fields rather than Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)?
✔ Native controls from the block Editor for a better experience
✔ Design field groups visually within the block editor
✔ Configure your fields more quickly
✔ More locations to display field groups (modal, panel)
✔ Ready-to-use patterns for stunning options pages
✔ Display fields in your template without code with the Field Value block, no need to code
✔ Use query block to filter results by meta
✔ And more to come in the premium version

Modern Fields is built specifically for Gutenberg but also works on classic editor through metaboxes.

Yes. Permissions integrate with WordPress roles and capabilities. Only users with the appropriate capabilities can create or edit field groups.

Өзгөртүүлөр
1.4.0
New:
- New Link field: point anywhere — an external URL, or existing content found by searching, using the link picker WordPress uses everywhere else
- Link field: choose whether the field asks for a link text, and whether it offers “Open in new tab”
- New Post or Archive Link field: link to a post or to a post type archive, always chosen from a list rather than typed in
- Post or Archive Link field: restrict the list to the post types, publication statuses and terms of your choice
- Post or Archive Link field: the archive of each post type is offered alongside individual entries, and can be turned off; several destinations can be allowed
- Both link fields display through a Button block, and read in templates with modern_fields_get_link()
- New Embed field: paste a link and preview what it embeds, right under the field
- New User field: pick one or several users, with their avatar in the search results
- User field: restrict the search to the roles of your choice, custom roles included
- New Post Reference field: point to a single post, page or custom post type through a searchable dropdown
- Post Reference field: restrict the search to the post types and the publication statuses of your choice
- Post Reference field: the new Bidirectional option records the reverse relation, so a post can be asked which posts point at it, read with modern_fields_get_linked_posts()
- New Taxonomy field: pick terms with the very interface WordPress uses — a checkbox tree for hierarchical taxonomies, a token field for flat ones
- Taxonomy field: choose the taxonomy to display, and allow missing terms to be created straight from the field
- New File field: import a file or pick one from the media library
- File field: restrict the media library to a category (images, documents, audio, video, archives) or to specific formats
- File field: set a maximum weight, capped by the server limit and shown next to the field
- New Map field: search for an address, click the map or drag the pin, and the coordinates, the address and its city, postcode and country are all stored
- Map field: the stored value uses the very same keys as ACF’s Google Map field, so a template moved over keeps working untouched
- Map field: set the default centre, the zoom, the height, the map type, a light or dark theme, and the colour of the pin
- Map field: the Google Maps API key is read from a wp-config constant or from the modern-fields/maps/api_key filter, never stored in the database
- Map field: without a key, the field still takes coordinates by hand and tells you which line to add where
- Map field: limit the address search to the countries of your choice, or turn the search off entirely
- Read a location in templates with get_field(), and link to it with the new modern_fields_get_map_url()
- New Icon field: pick an icon from the WordPress icon library, or upload one from the media library
- Icon field: the whole Dashicons set is published to the WordPress icon registry, so those icons render through the native Icon block, answer wp_get_icon() and appear in every picker that reads the registry
- Icon field: a plugin registering an icon collection of its own shows up in the picker with nothing to configure
- Icon field: the media library tab can be turned off, leaving only registered icons — the ones the native Icon block can display
- New Gallery field: pick several images at once from the media library, reorder them by dragging the thumbnails, and drop one with the cross that appears over it
- Gallery field: set a minimum and a maximum number of images, and the aspect ratio the thumbnails are cropped to
- Gallery field: the value is the ordered list of attachment IDs, read in templates with get_field()
- Field add-ons have one public entry point: window.modernFields.fields.registerFieldType, with window.modernFields.apiVersion beside it. A third-party field type registers its block and its component in a single call, and inherits the label, description, Required badge and settings panels of the native fields
Improved:
- Theme JSON sync: reading the field group status no longer scans the post type, taxonomy and block files along the way
- Theme JSON sync: a status that fails to load now says so instead of showing an empty column
- Every field’s settings moved to the block editor’s own settings panels: an option shows at a glance whether it has been changed, resets on its own, and the whole section resets at once
- Editor styles are collected once per stylesheet instead of once per field, so a group of a dozen fields no longer repeats the same CSS a dozen times in the metabox
- Click targets across the plugin are reachable from a keyboard, and what screen readers announce was named properly — the media field’s image preview, the checkbox lists, the rich text editor’s frame
Fixed:
- Fields storing a structure (Border, Spacing) lost their value when saved from a form rather than the block editor
- Checkbox lists with a capped height squashed their rows instead of scrolling
- Selections were lost when a search narrowed a list of checkboxes
- Role and status pickers now scroll instead of stretching on sites with many roles
- The Link field came up unstyled outside the block editor — on an options page, a term or a user form — because the stylesheet it needs was looked up in the rendered group content, where the marker it looks for no longer exists
1.3.0
New:
- New Dashboard location: display a field group as a widget on the WordPress dashboard. Values are saved as site options (administrators only)
- Field values are no longer publicly exposed in the REST API. Enable the new ‘Expose through API’ option per field to opt in
- Image field: choose the display ratio
Fixed:
- Filters and trash has been fixed in list views (Field groups, CPT, Taxonomies and blocks)
- Fixed a fatal error when editing a post whose author no longer exists or was never set (e.g. content created through WP-CLI or the API)
- Fixed a blank options page / dashboard widget when the group contains a checkboxes field that was never saved
- The field groups list now shows “No author” instead of an empty cell for groups without an author

1.1.0
New:
* The whole Modern Fields admin is now a single-page app: switching between Field Groups, Post Types, Taxonomies, Blocks, Import/Export and Settings no longer reloads the page.
* Trash support: move field groups, post types and taxonomies to the trash, restore them, or delete them permanently, with an Active/Trash filter in each list.
Improved:
