Insert Custom Fields of type integer with the REST API

    Hi team,

    I have a custom field registered. I want to use the REST API to update and insert post with the right custom field value instead of doing it manually through the dashboard.

    I can successfully insert and update post with the REST API. However, the custom field only appears when it is of type string. If I register the field for a different type (integer, number, boolean) it doesn’t appear in the post nor does it in the HTTP response.

    I’ve also noticed that inserting a custom field manually doesn’t let me specify the type either.

    Are custom fields restricted to strings only on WordPress.com sites?

    Hi there!

    Thank you for your message.

    Can you please tell us a bit more about how exactly did you create that custom field?
    Did you use some custom coding or a 3rd party plugin?
