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.
