- 10. By the end,you should be able to: Choose a solution that fits you needs and coding level. Create a custom MetaBox in all the frameworks.
- 12. Why does itmatter? It allows to have fine control on how you display the data You can control the input types Just adding custom data is not use friendly You can make values required Coding meta boxes by hand is a slow and painful process Advanced / custom input types (colour pickers, custom data sources, etc) are complex

- #10 In this talk, I will show you how to use frameworks to create and handle custom meta boxes
- #21 End users can edit fields: someone could change the identifier and break your implementation. It encourages a front-end dependency: the get_field( $key ) function adds some convenience with formatted fields but functionally is just a wrapper for get_post_meta( $post_id, $key, true ) and if you’ve made the mistake of buying into it you’ll have some work to do if you ever want to leave. API is developer-unfriendly: no documentation for writing field definitions by hand (using register_field_group()), the syntax for its parametised array isn’t bad but it’s far too verbose to write by guessing and every time you make a change you have to re-export the code and update your plugin. Impractical to use as a front-end dependency: you’d have to either check whether ACF is loaded before registering fields or use something like the TGM Plugin Activation library to ensure it’s available. Either way, in one way or another, you’re delegating responsibility for the dependency to the user which is one of those WordPress-specific practices that makes the wider PHP community scratch their heads. Painful to use as a back-end dependency: there isn’t a clean way to add custom fields without unintended side-effects.
