 * Hey, I would like to notice you, that the custom post type is still not working.
   Im musing custom fields to create the custom fields and they arent showing.
 * While checking the DB I found those following errors:
 *  in table `wp_postmeta` your meta_key is wrong. While it should be the name of
   the custom_field we use, you use.
 * Example:
    I name one custom field- download. So the metakey for it should also
   be download. But when I check my DB, the metakey for your mage form is :cast (
   this is the first error) and the other is the inside of it. All custom fields
   are starting with mage_ prefix which is also wrong. The inside should be just
   the content of the metakey.
 * I suggest to rework the custom fields. Thanks alot!

 * Greetings quangn,
    the issue has been resolved in the new version and custom 
   fields will now work accordingly. Simply by using [text name="custom_field_name"]
   in a form, will create or update a custom field with that name upon submission.
 * Other form elements, such as radio and checkboxes, will be able to create/update
   custom fields in a future update.
 * Thank you for the suggestion –
