UiChemy Custom Fields
Show values from UiChemy's own Custom Fields in Elementor widgets with the Custom Field dynamic tags, from the post, its author, or the current term.
Built your content with UiChemy Custom Fields? Show those values on your pages with three dynamic tags in Elementor, no code needed.
Custom Fields is UiChemy's built-in tool for post types, taxonomies, and field groups. With UiChemy Pro, its field values can be bound to any Elementor control that accepts dynamic data, just like ACF or JetEngine fields.
The Custom Field dynamic tags require UiChemy Pro, and the Custom Fields feature must be turned on in UiChemy → Settings → Features. On the free plan, field values can still be shown through theme templates.
The Custom Field Tags
In the Elementor panel, click the dynamic tag icon on a control and open the Composer · Custom Fields group.
| Tag | Use for | Field types it lists |
|---|---|---|
| Custom Field | Text-style values | Text, Textarea, Number, Range, Email, URL, WYSIWYG, Select, Checkbox, Radio, True / False, Date, Date Time, Time, Color |
| Custom Field URL | Links | URL, Link, Page Link, File |
| Custom Field Image | Image controls | Image |
Fields are listed by field group, so you pick them by the names you gave them.
Source
Each tag has a Source setting that decides where the value is read from:
| Source | What it reads |
|---|---|
| Post | The field on the current post |
| Post Author | The field on the current post's author |
| Queried Term | The field on the category, tag, or term being viewed, for archive templates |
How Values Show
- Checkbox and multi-select fields show the selected values joined with a comma.
- True / False fields show
1for on and0for off. - Link and File fields give their URL.
- Image fields fill the image control directly, ready to use.
- A field hidden by conditional logic, or a Pro field type without UiChemy Pro, shows nothing.
Example: You have a Team post type with a Profile field group (Job title, Photo, LinkedIn). In a single template, bind a heading to Custom Field → Job title, an image to Custom Field Image → Photo, and a button link to Custom Field URL → LinkedIn. Every team member's page now fills in on its own.
Use Cases
- Single templates for a custom post type, like Projects or Events, that show each item's own fields.
- Author boxes that read fields from the post author, like a job title or social link.
- Category and tag archives that show a field set on the term, like an icon or a banner image.
