Allows you to easily find the custom fields (including hidden custom fields) and their values for a post, page or custom post type post.
Security History
What It Does
Custom Field Finder is a diagnostic utility that surfaces every custom field assigned to a post, page, or custom post type entry, including hidden fields that normally do not appear in the WordPress editor. It works as a read-only inspector so developers, site builders, and content editors can quickly verify field names, IDs, and stored values without writing database queries. In practice, it answers the common question of 'what is actually saved in the post meta for this entry?'
Who It's For
This plugin is best suited for developers, site builders, and technical content managers who need to audit or troubleshoot custom field data on sites running ACF, Meta Box, Pods, or native WordPress meta. It is especially useful during migrations, template debugging, or when integrating third-party tools that rely on post meta. Casual bloggers or end users who never touch custom fields will get no value from it.
Who Should Skip It
Skip this plugin if you only need to view or edit custom fields in the normal course of content work, since ACF, Meta Box, or Pods already expose those values through their own interfaces. Anyone running a stock WordPress site with no custom field plugins or custom code storing post meta will also find no use for it.
The Bottom Line
Custom Field Finder scores 77.28/100 and does one job well: letting you peek at every custom field, including hidden ones, on any given post. Its perfect rating, recent updates, and strong compatibility make it a trustworthy diagnostic tool for developers, even with a modest install count and no public support history. Treat it as a utility belt add-on for debugging and auditing rather than a full custom fields solution.
Related Plugins
Pick ACF when you need to actually create and manage custom fields in the admin, not just inspect them, and you want the largest, most battle-tested ecosystem available.
Choose Meta Box if you want both field creation and inspection in a single, lightweight toolkit with a strong developer focus.
Select Pods when you need to define entire custom content types alongside fields, going well beyond simple inspection.
Choose this only if your specific need is WooCommerce checkout field editing, which is far narrower than general custom field work.
Pick Admin Columns when your real goal is to surface existing custom field values as columns in post and user list tables rather than inspect a single entry.
