Notes: In WordPress – content is stored in wp_posts and metadata stored in wp_postmeta. WordPress provides APIs for the DB end – CRUD – Create, Read, Update, Delete. But it doesn’t provide functionality to display the content or accept input: Theme and form. You also need to be able to extend the API set for different types of fields. There’s no standard framework to define “fields” and their relationships with post_types. Each CPT plugin rolls its own solution. The oik base plugin provides the base APIs shown here. oik-fields provides the theming and forming.

Notes

In the current version of the code, localization of labels for the textarea field type is not performed automatically. Here we see the “Notes” field label being localized using the __() function, and the default textdomain.
