## Description

Since version 5.6 Advanced Custom Fields plugin hides WordPress native interface
to display custom fields on the posts
 edit screen.

If you are plugin developer, advanced WordPress user or you feel much better when
you have custom fields at
 a glance, you probably would like to discard this change.

When you activate this tiny plugin, you will see the native custom fields interface
again.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/Native-Custom-Fields-Meta-Box-
    and-ACF` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen 
    directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress

## FAQ

  Where is the configuration screen for this plugin?

This plugin hasn’t configuration options. Just install it and you will see native
custom fields UI again.

  Does this plugin remove interface provided by ACF plugin?

No, you will see native custom fields interface alongside ACF interface

  I activated the plugin but I still don’t see the interface

On the top of post edit screen click on the Screen Options and select checkbox to
display Custom Fields

The another reason might be you are using WordPress 5.0 or higher with Gutenberg
editor. Gutenberg editor doesn’t display
 custom fields interface at all. If you
want to see this UI, switch to classic editor from [this plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/)

If you would like to see custom fields UI on the Gutenberg edit screen, I suggest

[this plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-fields-gutenberg/). In this case
you don’t need my plugin at all.
