As I created custom post type with taxonomy, when I add a new custom field, it is saving in the database but not showing in custom fields. I don't understand how to show the custom field in admin panel.

Can you add more details? What custom field? Where do you add it? - dingo_d
I found the solution. custom field not showing the new fields because of I used this hook add_action( 'load-post.php', 'post_meta_boxes_setup' ); in functions.php file. Now I am using this hook add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'post_meta_boxes_setup' ); and now I can see the newly added custom fields in admin panel. - Pankaj Bhandarkar

There is a very good plugin called Advanced Custom Fields for Wordpress. It's very easy to use and features conditional logic for page layouts, post type and much more.

We can easily create a meta box without using any plugin and customize it as per our needs:

here is the Wordpress documentation to create a meta box and here is the example to easily implement it with custom post type. Here is the example:

<?php
add_action('add_meta_boxes', 'meta_box_add_function');;
function meta_box_add_function()
{
    add_meta_box(
        'wporg_box_id',               // Unique ID
        'Custom Meta Box Title',      // Box title
        'wporg_custom_box_html',      // Content callback, must be of type callable
        'post'                        // Post type ['post', 'custom_post_type']
    );
    // You can add multiple boxes like above
}

function wporg_custom_box_html($post){
  echo 'What you put here, show\'s up in the meta box';
}
?>

And here you can save the post data using below hook:

<?php add_action( 'save_post', 'meta_box_save_function' ); ?>
