You can use GCF for example to create HTML + PHP shortcodes, global text fields, to save custom urls and retrieve them wherever you want and much more. **Add global fields in GCF Admin Page** Create groups in the ‘Settings’ section and related fields in the ‘Fields’ section. Then edit the fields individually from the ‘GCF’ section. **Recover GCF with php** Fields groups / single gcf can be retrieved anywhere within your theme / plugin with the function `get_gcf($group, $single = false, $eval = false)` **Show single GCF with a shortcode** Load and display your single gcf with a shortcode!`[ gcf group="group_name" field="field_name" eval=false]` Each field is validated before saving. Add non-standard HTML tags and attributes in the “Settings” section if you need. N.B. Use php “eval” only if you know what you’re doing. Save php fields using pseudo tags `[php] ... [/php]` [contact](https://wordpress.org/plugins/global-custom-fields/info@tommasomeli.it?output_format=md) me if you have any questions, issues, or suggestions.
