# [Plugin: Quick Post Widget] Custom fields?

 * How do you add wordpress Custom Fields to the quick-post form? I’m talking about
   accessing existing custom fields, not adding new ones. For example, I have a “
   Source URL” field that authors use to put the URL of articles they post, etc.
   It would be great to have this field available on the quick post form.
 * Thanks for your work on this plugin. It’s very helpful.

 * Thanks for your response.
    If you’re using the widget only on one page then you
   can of course rewrite the if-statement to match only for that particular page,
   but I’m sure you already thought of that. Please let me know if you were able
   to solve/hack it.

 * Still a bit confused on that. (sent an email)
 * Are you saying to add
    /?page_id=3988′ (Widget page) or ‘/?page_id=3805/’ (Forum
   page) in place of ‘/wptest/forum/test-forum’ ?
 * And, do i still do the first hack?
 * Also, when i edit quick-post-widget.php (tried 3 different editors) WP disables
   the plugin with an invalid plugin header error. Likely something i am doing wrong,
   but i have successfully hacked several other plugins.

 * Just sent you some mails. You don’t need the first hack, and for the second hack
   I think the line could be:
 * `if ( strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'page_id=3805') === false ) {`
 * Again, this is I think a dirty hack and it depends on your Permalink structure
   etc. (but it works for me).
    Anyone knows a better solution?

 * Thank you so very much inapan.
 * The solutions you provided have fixed every issue i was having, and thanks for
   noticing the (very slight) conflict with the SP Authors plugin.
