Ultimate TinyMCE [field] Shortcode

Parameters

Here is a list of all possible field name=”meta_key” shortcode parameters and attributes:

• name – specifies the meta key of the post’s custom field

Examples and Usage

Basic example – The shortcode is used to fetch and display the post meta data associated with a given name.

[field name="author"]

Advanced examples
