Custom FieldsΒΆ
You can either define your custom fields in source code by following steps in the Fields chapter or you can use GUI to create them in the WP admin in section “Horizon > Fields”.
Each field is defined by its:
- name
- unique identifier
- required flag
- description
- input type
- value type
- metabox
There are many input types available. We can categorize them by their behaviour:

| single line | 1 | text, small text, medium text, email address, URL, embed media |
| multiple lines | 1 | textarea, smaller textarea, code textarea, wysiwyg editor |
| picker | 1, 2 or 3 | time, date, timezone, date and time, date and time and timezone, color |
| checkbox | 1 (true / false) | checkbox |
| checkboxes | many | multicheck, multicheck inline |
| radio | 1 | radio, radio_inline |
