Field Forge – Custom Fields, Relational Fields & Builder

Field Forge is a modern custom-fields plugin. Fields live in dedicated tables (wp_fieldforge_values) instead of the bloated wp_postmeta, so listing pages stay fast even with 50+ fields per post. Drag-drop the field group editor, then read values via PHP or REST.

Free

• Unlimited field groups
• 31 field types — text, textarea, number, select, image, file, WYSIWYG, oEmbed, Gallery, Calculation, date/time/color pickers, Google Map, link, and the relational set (Relationship, Post Object, Page Link, Taxonomy, User)
• Location rules (post type, taxonomy, template, user role)
• ACF compatibility layer (import existing ACF groups + values)
• Custom-table storage (not wp_postmeta)
• Migration UI from ACF Free
• Visual field group builder
• Local JSON sync (write field groups to disk for version control)
• Options-page values via get_field() / update_field()
• REST API field exposure
• Schema versioning + revision history for field groups

Field Forge Pro

Pro is a separate add-on plugin, distributed from https://fieldforgewp.com and not
included in this download. Everything listed above is part of this plugin and works
without it.

• Compound field types: Repeater, Group, Flexible Content, Clone
• Options pages management screen (creating and editing the pages themselves)
• PHP Blocks (register Gutenberg blocks from field groups)
• AI schema generator (describe the data → generates a field group)
• Native WPGraphQL schema + resolvers (no add-on plugin needed)
• TypeScript / JSON sync (export field groups to your repo)
• Bulk JSON export / import

Part of the Forge Suite — bundle includes Lang Forge, Rank Forge, Form Forge.

Third-Party Services

Field Forge connects to one third-party service:

• Avakode API (https://avakode.com) — validates your license and powers optional AI features. Your site URL and license key are sent when the license is checked; field or post content is sent only when you trigger an AI action. AI features require the separate Field Forge Pro add-on.
