Awesome Plugin - THANK YOU!
Thanks for donating this plugin to the WP repository. It is SO helpful, and just what I was looking for - clean, lite weight and easy to use, I added a native custom field because I did not need an entire ACF plugin for just one field, but then needed to figure out how to display it in the sidebar. This was perfect! ACF needs to add something like this to make it easier for users to display fields on front end.

Fantastic! This plugin does what exactly I needed
I had a task to pass a custom field value to the setting field of a plugin. That plugin allows shortcode as a field value. I was thinking to write a custom code to get custom field value via shortcode. But what did I think, I searched on google, and got this cool thing.
