The JSM Show Post Metadata plugin displays post (ie. posts, pages, and custom post types) meta keys (aka custom field names) and their unserialized values in a metabox at the bottom of the post editing page.
There are no plugin settings - simply install and activate the plugin.

worked for me
I’m definitely not making full use of its potential but, for what I need it, it has proved to be dependable and very useful.
Thank you for sharing your work.
Thank you so much for this awesome plugin.
It’s great for letting me see hidden metadata without having to open up the database. Plus, it’s great for allowing non-technical users to see the information without the risk of sending them to the database.
I’ve started recently to use this plugin to discover post meta values, I must say it’s cleaner than other plugins I’ve used before.
Thanks for the latest update release 2.0.0, the ability to have post meta updated without having to load the page is pretty awesome.
I use the plugin almost everyday. I recommend it to anyone who wants to see what’s in post meta.
Keep it up!
Five stars – useful and light plugin, best for debugging hidden post meta tags! :)
Exactly what I was looking for..
Handy for all kinds of debugging.
Really helps me see what my theme and all the random plugins I have are attaching to my posts.
Another great plugin by JSM
