How institution Fields Gives You More control Over Your WordPress Posts

One of the biggest complaints about WordPress is that there seems to be very itsybitsy control over your posts. Once you have your post theme basically every post on the whole website looks exactly the same. To some who are used to having control over what goes on each page of the website this is a major drawback to WordPress.

There is a itsybitsy known feature in the posts that you can add called a custom field. It's down the page when you are in the area to write a new post.

A custom field means that you can specify a key then give that key a value. If your key was book and the value was Lord of the Rings, then Lord of the Rings would show up on your page wherever you specified for WordPress to call up the book key.

If you wanted to called up the custom field key of dog, you would change book to dog manufacture this change on every page that is using this template on your site. This could be put on positive pages on your site that you want to change without having to change the whole template as you don't want it to be on every page on the whole site.

The suspect this gives you more Power over your pages because you can use custom fields to call up php includes if you wish. If you want your page to call up a positive ad, then you can have a key for that add with a exact value. When that value is called up, that php file will be included on the page.

The advantage of this is that you can change hundreds of posts at the same time by editing just one file giving you more control over your WordPress posts. This is a huge advantage because you might have things that you need on every page that you need to change at a moment's notice.
