🧩 Column Types Explained

(In the “Edit Columns” popup for each post type)

  1. Core Field – Native WordPress columns (e.g., Title, Date)

    • Only the label is editable
    • To customize, uncheck and re-add it as a custom field
  2. Post Field – Columns from the wp_posts table (e.g., post_status, post_author)

    • Label is editable
    • Output can be modified via filter hook only
  3. Meta Field – Auto-detected from the postmeta table

    • Label is editable
    • Do not change the meta key — it must match the database exactly
  4. Custom Field – Fully flexible

    • Set your own key and label
    • Use the hook to render any content
    • Ideal for developers or integrating third-party fields
  5. Additional Field

    • Useful derived values like featured image, word count etc.
    • Filter hook can be used to modify the content
