Description

Wondering about the post meta your theme and/or plugins might be creating?

Want to find the name of a specific post meta key?

Need some help debugging your post meta (aka custom fields)?

The JSM’s Show Post Metadata plugin displays all post meta (aka custom fields) keys and their unserialized values in a metabox at the bottom of post editing pages.

There are no plugin settings — simply install and activate the plugin.

I've started recently to use this plugin to discover post meta values, I must say it's cleaner than other plugins I've used before. Well done!

Awesome! Now I can see all the fields attached to my posts!
