In very rare cases, some themes store multiple data points in a single field. Themes shouldn’t do this. It’s not nice, and the practice is generally frowned upon. But, some do. These fields are often called “serialized” fields.

The Serialize feature generates an array with the key => value pairs you specify, and then returns the serialize()’d value of the array.
