DN Custom Fields Parser – WordPress Plugin

DN Custom Fields Parser is a powerful yet easy-to-use WordPress plugin that allows you to dynamically insert custom field values into your post content and Site Editor templates using simple placeholders. Perfect for developers, site builders, and content creators who want to create more dynamic and flexible websites without manual intervention.

Features

  • Parse custom field placeholders in post content
  • Support for HTML content in custom fields
  • Seamless integration with Site Editor templates

  • Easy-to-use settings page
  • Compatible with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)

How it Works

The plugin replaces placeholders in the format {{field_name}} with the corresponding custom field value. For example, {{tool_description}} would be replaced with the content of the “tool_description” custom field.
