What you’ll be creating

Often, we need to accommodate requests from users for a new field, or new section in the WordPress admin interface, with a corresponding rendering on the front-end.

Your task is to create a set of fields in the WordPress admin that allows a user to add the following to the posts post type in WordPress:

• A date field to select the “release date” of the post
• A set of repeatable text fields for:
  • Contact name
  • Contact email address
  • Contact phone number

These fields should be rendered on the front-end under the post title (see the highlighted area of the next slide for an example). You can modify the WordPress default Twenty Nineteen (or Twenty Twenty) theme.

Requirements

Use the Meta Box plugin to make the fields in the admin. You can use fieldset text for the fields that need to be repeatable.

• The user should be able to create any number of contact fields.
• The contact name should be a link to a website.
• The release date should be formatted like the following: June 29, 2019
• If the release date or a piece of content isn’t entered, the field should not appear on the front-end.
