Ask HN: Wordpress plugin to create custom fields

4 pointsby adidash13 ปีที่แล้ว3 comments

I am building a wordpress site for local music events (the mvp from a non-tech fouder). I am looking for a wordpress plugin which will let me create custom fields and tags to add multi-day music events. A typical event may be 2-4 days long and will have information like:

Event name, Day wise schedule, Music Genre, Bands, Band Members, Venue, city, Book Ticket button,

Any plugin/theme recommendation will be highly appreciated as this will let me get with my customer trials really quickly.

As Rust mentioned you'll probably want look at More Types for creating Custom Post Types:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types

Here are 2 more plugins for creating and managing Custom Post Types:

http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/

http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-content-type-manager/ (I like this one)

As for creating custom fields, Advanced Custom Fields is a good one, but Custom Field Suite is an earlier port of their code that we've been using lately and it's great:

You, sir, are looking for the More Fields plugin (http://wordpress.org/plugins/more-fields/), and possibly the More Types plugin (http://wordpress.org/plugins/more-types/).

MF lets you add custom fields to any existing post type, and MT lets you create new custom post types (like, say, Music Events) that you can attach fields to using the MT plugin.

The most popular and by far the best is Advamced Custom Fields. It will do anything! http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/
