Just started to use your plugin. Registering fields with a custom post type works fine, but I can’t figure out how to apply fields to a custom taxonomy’s admin page. I thought it would possibly work with ‘'scope' => array('name_of_custom_taxonomy')‘. I have read through your documentation but couldn’t find a solution. Any advise/help very much appreciated.

DCF works with WordPress’s core metadata (for posts and users). There currently isn’t support for taxonomy metadata (though it’s possibly on the way – https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10142).

Having considered completely rewriting DCF to make it more maintainable, I’ve actually decided to start using the CMB2 plugin instead, and to contribute to that plugin when I need new features. So DCF is highly unlikely to continue development.

There do seem to be some options for custom fields on taxonomies via CMB2, e.g. https://github.com/jtsternberg/Taxonomy_MetaData

Many thanks for the prompt and “honest” reply!
I’ll follow your recommendation and will have a look at the CMB2 plugin as an alternative then.

Honesty is one of the advantages of free software 😉 Good luck with CMB2.
