How to use custom fields





To display the custom fields for each post, you have to use a template tag that customizes your theme.
get_post_meta($post->ID, $field_key, true);  
In visual builders, use dynamic content and custom field name to display the value.
Private custom fields (with field key starting with underscore) will not be shown in the admin UI and visual builders.
