  • Heaven sent!

    Simple but great plugin. It allowed me to add everything I needed from my CPT fields to the WP rest API v2. Thank you guys!

  • Excellent tool, but needs to be deactivated...

    This is truly excellent. It makes adding fields to the Rest API easy. However, there's the slight issue that it slows down every. single. page. by 3-5 seconds because it makes a terribly slow SQL query on EVERY admin page. So I use it when I need it. Then I quickly deactivate it.
