-Modern custom fields builder for WordPress. Create and manage custom field groups with an intuitive, developer-friendly interface.
+A free, modern custom fields plugin for WordPress. Build field groups with a visual editor — no code required.
 
 == Description ==
 
-Codeideal Open Fields is a powerful, lightweight, and 100% open-source custom fields plugin for WordPress. Add custom fields to posts, pages, custom post types, taxonomies, and users with an intuitive, modern interface for creating field groups and managing custom data.
+**Codeideal Open Fields** lets you add custom fields to posts, pages, custom post types, taxonomies, and users. The admin interface is built with React and TypeScript — fast, responsive, and intuitive.
 
-= Source Code & Build Instructions =
+All features are free. No premium tier. No locked functionality.
 
-The admin interface JavaScript (`assets/admin/js/admin.js`) and CSS (`assets/admin/css/admin.css`) are compiled from uncompressed source code. All other JavaScript and CSS files in the plugin are uncompressed and human-readable.
+= Quick Start =
 
-**Public source repository:** [https://github.com/novincode/openfields](https://github.com/novincode/openfields)
+`get_field( 'my_field' )` — retrieve any field value.
 
-**Source files location:** The uncompressed React/TypeScript source for the admin JS is in [`admin/src/`](https://github.com/novincode/openfields/tree/main/admin/src). The uncompressed CSS source for `admin.css` is in [`admin/src/styles/`](https://github.com/novincode/openfields/tree/main/admin/src/styles). All other JavaScript and CSS files in `assets/admin/js/` and `assets/admin/css/` (except `admin.js` and `admin.css`) are already human-readable and uncompressed.
+`the_field( 'my_field' )` — echo a field value directly.
 
-**To build from source:**
+= Template Examples =
 
-1. Clone the repository: `git clone https://github.com/novincode/openfields.git`
-2. Install dependencies: `pnpm install`
-3. Build the admin JS/CSS: `pnpm run build`
+**Simple field:**
 
-The build uses Vite and TypeScript. Output is placed in `plugin/assets/admin/js/admin.js` and `plugin/assets/admin/css/admin.css`.
+    <?php echo esc_html( get_field( 'subtitle' ) ); ?>
 
-= Key Features =
+**Repeater loop:**
 
-* **Modern Interface** - Built with React for a smooth, intuitive user experience
-* **Multiple Field Types** - Text, textarea, number, email, URL, select, checkbox, radio, switch, date, time, color picker, image, file, gallery, WYSIWYG editor, link, post object, taxonomy, user, repeater, and group fields
-* **Flexible Locations** - Assign field groups to specific post types, page templates, taxonomies, or users
-* **Repeater Fields** - Create repeatable sets of fields for dynamic content
-* **Group Fields** - Organize related fields into collapsible groups
-* **Standards Compatible** - Uses standard WordPress meta storage for maximum compatibility
-* **Developer Friendly** - Clean codebase with hooks and filters for customization
-* **Lightweight** - No bloat, only what you need
-* **100% Free** - All features available, no premium version
+    <?php while ( have_rows( 'team_members' ) ) : the_row(); ?>
+        <h3><?php the_sub_field( 'name' ); ?></h3>
+        <p><?php the_sub_field( 'role' ); ?></p>
+    <?php endwhile; ?>
+
+**User field (with prefix):**
+
+    <?php echo esc_html( get_field( 'company', 'user_' . $user_id ) ); ?>
+
+Full API reference and guides: [openfields.codeideal.com/docs](https://openfields.codeideal.com/docs)
+
+= ACF-Compatible API =
+
+If you know ACF, you already know Open Fields. The template API uses the same function names:
+
+* `get_field()` / `the_field()`
+* `get_fields()` / `update_field()` / `delete_field()`
+* `have_rows()` / `the_row()` / `get_sub_field()` / `the_sub_field()`
+* `get_row()` / `get_rows()` / `reset_rows()` / `get_row_index()`
+* `get_field_object()` / `get_sub_field_object()`
+
+When ACF is also active, these wrappers are not loaded — no conflicts. Both plugins store data as standard WordPress meta, so they can coexist.
+
+Every function also has a prefixed version (e.g. `cofld_get_field()`) that is always available regardless of other plugins.
