I just tried it for WooCommerce products. The field array shows up on the edit screen for products…but they are still visible to everyone. The listings in the store and the dedicated page for the product. * Thoughts? * [oshi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thugzanime/) * (@thugzanime) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-support-to-custom-post-type/#post-5338594) * I been looking for this all day. cant wait to try this out and see the results.
