Wrap it Up - Know the Code

Skip to episode playlist

WooHoo!! You did it! Great job! Let’s review what you learned in this lab:

Custom field is the same thing as post metadata, metadata, and post meta.
Custom field refers to the interface, such as a form.
Post metadata refers to the code and database.
You can use the built-in meta box to add, update, and delete custom fields in the back-end.
WordPress provides functionality to get, update, add, and delete metadata programmatically in your theme or plugin.

You will grow in this profession when you incrementally and systematically stretch yourself....bit-by-bit.
