Hello there.

Question in the title, I’ve searched everywhere and i can’t find the values of my custom fields anywhere in the database.

They are custom fields in a custom post type ( don’t know if it’s changing anything.. )

Sorry it’s probably super dumb but I’ve been looking in wp_posts, wp_postmeta and basicaly in every table.

In wp_posts, the column “post_content” is empty. Don’t know if it supposed to be here but I read something like that.

Thanks for your help.

It depends on the field type and what they are connected to. For posts they will be in _postmeta, for users _usermeta and for terms _termmeta, and options will be in the _options table.

Hey man, thanks.

I mean, I already had checked these tables but nothing was in there. Some bug probably ? I don’t know but know it’s alright, I can see the values in it !

Thanks anyway !
