## Description

Plinth Custom Fields lets you build custom field groups and attach them to post 
types, page templates, specific pages, or post statuses — without depending on any
other plugin.

**Key features:**

 * 12 field types: Text, Textarea, Number, Email, URL, Image, Select, Radio, Checkbox,
   True/False, WYSIWYG Editor, and Repeater
 * Repeater fields with drag-to-reorder rows and nested sub-fields
 * Location rules with AND/OR logic — show fields only where you need them
 * Import and export field groups as JSON, so you can move configurations between
   sites
 * Template functions for theme developers: `plinth_get_field()`, `plinth_the_field()`,`
   plinth_get_image()`, `plinth_get_rows()`, `plinth_have_rows()`, `plinth_the_row()`,`
   plinth_get_sub_field()`, `plinth_the_sub_field()`
 * All data stored in standard `wp_postmeta`, prefixed with `_plinth_` so it never
   collides with other plugins
 * Zero external dependencies — works entirely on top of WordPress core

#### For Theme Developers

Once a field group is created and assigned to a location, pull the values into any
template file:

    ```
    <?php
    $title = plinth_get_field( 'hero_title' );
    $image = plinth_get_image( 'hero_image', null, 'large' );

    if ( plinth_have_rows( 'team_members' ) ) :
        while ( plinth_rows_remaining() ) : plinth_the_row(); ?>
            <h3><?php plinth_the_sub_field( 'name' ); ?></h3>
        <?php endwhile;
    endif;
    ?>
    ```

## Installation

 1. Upload the `plinth-custom-fields` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory,
    or install directly through the WordPress Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Plinth Custom Fields  Add New** to create your first field group.
 4. Set Location Rules to choose where the field group should appear.
 5. Edit a matching post or page to see your custom fields in a meta box.

## FAQ

### Does this require any other plugin?

No. Plinth Custom Fields is fully self-contained and has zero dependencies on any
other plugin.

### Can I move field groups between sites?

Yes. Go to **Plinth Custom Fields  Import / Export** to export a JSON file of your
field groups, then import that same file on another site.

### How do repeater fields store their data?

Repeater rows are stored as individual `wp_postmeta` rows (a row-count meta key 
plus one meta key per cell), which keeps the data simple to query directly from 
the database if needed.

### Will this conflict with my theme’s existing custom fields?

All meta keys are prefixed with `_plinth_` and the leading underscore keeps them
out of WordPress’s native Custom Fields panel, minimizing collision risk with other
plugins or theme code.
