Contexts

Contexts control where fields are displayed and how data is stored. Fieldmanager’s core contexts include post, term, user, and submenu.

Each context has its own actions. It’s important to hook into these actions when registering your fields for performance and compatibility reasons.

Post Context

Adds a meta box to the new/edit post screen (for any post type), and saves data to post meta.

Term Context

Adds fields to the new and/or edit term screen, and saves data to term meta.

Submenu Context

Adds a new screen to the WordPress admin, and saves data to options.

User Context

Adds fields to the edit user (profile) screen, and saves data to user meta.

Quickedit Context

Adds fields to the Quickedit box in the post list screen, and saves data to post meta.
