Settings

Custom Fields has a dedicated admin page under WP PowerSuite. Enable the module, then open that page to configure it.

How to enable it

Go to WP PowerSuite -> Modules.
Open Content or search for “Custom Fields”.
Toggle Custom Fields on.
Confirm WP PowerSuite Pro is installed and your license is active.
Open the module settings / admin page and save.

Toggle it off anytime to stop this module from loading.

How to test it

Confirm Custom Fields is enabled under WP PowerSuite -> Modules -> Content.
Use the feature this module controls (the admin UI, front-end behavior, upload, login flow, etc.).
✅ Pass: you see the module-specific behavior described above.
❌ Fail: re-check this module’s settings and Pro install/license, then look for another plugin doing the same job.

Troubleshooting

No change after enabling. Confirm the toggle is on, hard-refresh, and review this module’s settings.
Conflicts. Temporarily disable other plugins that implement the same feature.
Locked / inactive. Install WP PowerSuite Pro beside the free plugin and activate your license.
Unexpected side effect. Toggle Custom Fields off to revert, then re-enable with adjusted settings.

Manage with WP-CLI

Prefer the command line? You can turn this module on or off with WP-CLI instead of the dashboard:

# Turn the module on
wp powersuite module enable custom-fields

# Turn the module off
wp powersuite module disable custom-fields

# Check whether it is on, its category, and where its settings live
wp powersuite module get custom-fields

Managing more than one site? Add --url=https://example.com to point a command at one site. If this is a Pro module, install WP PowerSuite Pro and activate your license first. New to WP-CLI? See the full command guide.
