Custom Fields Framework Pro 2.5.0

Custom Fields Framework Pro 2.5.0

Added

• Added the native WordPress Custom Fields panel to Field Group “Hide on screen” controls.
• Added paginated AJAX search for relational select fields.
• Added PHPUnit configuration and a PHP 7.4–8.3 CI matrix.
• Added a repeatable release zip builder via composer release:zip.

Changed

• Centralized classic-editor and REST value validation in a type-aware field sanitizer.
• Load heavy editor assets only when the current screen has matching field groups.
• Cache field group settings per request and batch large post reorder writes.
• Made reorder handles keyboard-accessible with Arrow Up and Arrow Down.
• Release zips now exclude docs, tests, CI files, Composer tooling, scripts, Git metadata helpers, and .DS_Store.

Fixed

• Hidden editor fields remain available to frontend helpers and REST responses.
• REST reads and writes no longer fall back to field groups that do not match the current post.
• Native WordPress meta boxes are removed through remove_meta_box() in addition to the CSS fallback.
