Description
Enhance the default WordPress admin search by including custom fields (post meta) in search results.
This plugin seamlessly extends the post listing (edit.php) search functionality, allowing administrators to quickly find content based on values stored in custom fields.
It works out of the box with no configuration required—just activate and start searching.
Especially useful for sites that rely heavily on custom fields, such as those built with ACF or other meta-based data structures.
Lightweight, efficient, and fully integrated with the native WordPress admin experience.
Installation
- Upload the folder ‘wp-admin-search-meta’ to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory
