I'm new to wordpress and would like to know what's the best way of extending my custom plugin for our school page. I've created a custom post type experiment which will always have steps 1 to N. Sometimes an experiment might have 3 steps and sometimes 12 steps.

I've looked at custom fields and from the documentation the key-value storage would require always having the maximum number of fields and then checking if a key's value is empty when iterating through it inside the template.

What I'd like to do is to have ajaxed fields like there are for a normal post.

  • Why do they have to be stored individually? Store an array in a single field.

So I figured out that Wordpress works with arrays inside a custom post_meta by default.
