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.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the 1s and 0s flowing in your computer.
