OneMeta – Custom Meta Fields

OneMeta is a free, open-source WordPress plugin for creating and managing custom meta fields — without the complexity or cost of premium alternatives.

Whether you need simple text fields or advanced repeater groups with conditional logic, OneMeta gives you a clean visual builder and clean PHP output.

✨ Key Features

• Visual Drag & Drop Builder — Build field groups with a beautiful, intuitive interface
• Live PHP Code Preview — See your generated PHP code update in real time as you build
• Export as PHP Code — Export field groups to use in your theme or plugin without OneMeta installed
• Repeater Fields — Create repeatable sub-field groups for complex data
• Conditional Logic — Show or hide fields based on the value of other fields, with AND/OR rule combinations
• REST API Support — Access field data via the WordPress REST API
• Nothing Added to Your Live Site — Field values render as plain PHP with zero extra scripts; jQuery (already bundled with WordPress) powers the Media Uploader and repeater drag-reordering inside the editor only
• 14 Field Types — Everything you need, nothing you don’t
• Modern UI — Clean, polished admin interface

🧩 Field Types

Basic: Text, Textarea, URL, Email, Date

Choice: Toggle, Select, Radio, Button Group

Multiple: Checkbox

Media: Image, File, Gallery

Advanced: Repeater

📖 Helper Functions

Use simple helper functions to retrieve field values in your theme:

$value = onemeta_get_meta( get_the_ID(), 'field_key' );

$value = onemeta_get_user_meta( $user_id, 'field_key' );

🔀 Conditional Logic

Show or hide fields dynamically based on the value of other fields, combining multiple rules with AND/OR. Supports ==, !=, contains, and !contains operators.

📤 Export as PHP

Export any field group as clean PHP code to bundle with your theme or plugin — no dependency on OneMeta required.
