    Hi,
    Just an idea to be able to make custom work paired with your plugin easier for others to maintain.
    I’m currently using the description field of the category as a way to set additional metadata.
    Ex: 

    {
"description": "A hardtype hack",
"link": "/modpage/chrono-trigger-lavos-awakening/",
"image": "/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Lavos.jpg"
}

    This works fine for me, as I then can extract the json in code, but I’m not gonna be the only one working with the site and everyone might not find this very user-friendly.

    Would there be a reasonable way to add custom meta fields?

    Just a feature request, expecting nothing. 😀

    I’m not sure what you want to ask. Or what you want to do.

    To the “Download” post type (this is a custom post type), we can add “custom-fields” support.
    A php function should be added to this operation.

    Then there would be a custom fields setting, like “Post” defuault post type. You can turn this on when editing on the “Screen Options” tab.

    Would you need that?

    I’ll show you a mockup:

    So, some way to add these in the admin front-end which I then can access in my own functions, if that makes any sense.

    So meta fields for taxonomy.

    I think the easiest way to do this is to use the ACF plugin.

    That worked better than expected. Thanks for the tip!
