yeah sure,
I am using WordPress 4.2.5 in which there is a built-in feature “Custom Fields”. There is a custom field named as “mfn-page-items-seo”. I want to edit the contents present in the value of this field. How will I change that. I have tried it but when I click the update button, changes are not made accordingly.
Please help ?
There’s been a custom fields facility in WordPress for some time. 🙂
The process to update the value for such a field is exactly as you describe. The fact that the value is not being updated hints at issues elsewhere in your site. Can I just clarify how you are checking the custom field value after you have selected “Update”?

I am purely new to this custom field.
Actually my client wants me to change some text of a page.
For this, I am opening a page, there at the bottom of the page “Custom Fields” are there.
In the name this is mentioned “mfn-page-items-seo” and
in the value “CONTENT” is there
Sorry I am not able to explain you properly. I have a snapshot showing my problem. Pls let me know how can i show this
From that you describe, I think you have a custom theme that is using that value to toggle another function within the theme that actually generates some content.
Does that sound feasible?
If so, then you’d need to start delving into the theme’s files to see how it handles custom fields.

from my search i found that contents shown in the site are stored in this custom field “mfn-page-items-seo” and contents mentioned in the value part are shown only when this custom field “mfn-page-items” is added along with a long encrypted string mentioned in the value. What does this “mfn-page-items” means and what does this long encrypted is?
can u pls help ?
Sorry but there’s no way for us to determine what this custom field was for or what encrypted string in the mfn-page-item field is. Try looking deeper into the theme’s own files – assuming it is the theme that is utilising these fields.
Alternatively, check to see if any of your active plugin use them.

should i sent u all the details regarding these custom fields
That won’t help. We still have no idea about the custom theme and how it uses those fields. This requires a little more than support via a free forum. Perhaps you need to consider hiring someone to assist you via http://jobs.wordpress.net/ ?
