How to Use Custom Fields in Post Feed Slides

It is possible to use many kinds of custom fields in MetaSlider slideshows. This can be done using the Post Feed slide type.

You can see examples of this in our integrations with WooCommerce and The Events Calendar. Before you start, check that you have some data inside your custom field. MetaSlider won’t find a custom field that is completely empty.

When you add a Post Feed slide, click on the “Caption Template” tab.

In this screenshot below, you can see several fields from The Events Calendar Plugin. This is a custom fields area that shows data from the theme, from MetaSlider and from other sources.
