    Hello! Thanks for your time put into development of this plugin.

    I have found “Please read!” text, being now 4 years old, which claims that this plugin is no longer needed. This seems also to be backed by www.ads-software.com documentation.

    In my case this turns to be not true. In the newest Gutenberg custom fields are not appearing. I have filed a bug about this.

    I have then read your post again, second paragraph about possibility of stopping native support of custom fields in WordPress starting 2022. Based on that I have installed your plugin to my WordPress network.

    Unfortunately, even with “Force Display” checkbox checked in plugin configuration I am getting no results. Custom fields are not available.

    Do you know anything about this issue? Is your plugin again needed in 2023? Thank you!

    OK, my misunderstanding. I was expecting custom fields to appear next to other sections in post settings sidebar, not _below_ post content.

    So, the 2023 update is that your plugin is still no longer needed, as WordPress still supports displaying custom fields.

    Correct, WP still provides the Custom Fields meta box, located by default beneath the post content.
