Hi thanks for the woderful plugin.
I need a small help. In my wordpress website in index.php i want to add some custom field. How can i achieve the same as it is not a page template. May be I am missing something. Can i get some guidance for the same. Thanks

Hi @upasana

Because the index.php is not an actual page, you need to use another approach to save / load custom field data.

I have created an add-on called the ‘options page’.

This allows you to save / load data from a global admin page which would work perfectly for you!

Good luck.

Thanks

Create a home.php template (copy the index.php one), should also solve the problem
