Meta Box Builder

Custom fields usually mean writing PHP by hand, which slows down beginners and repeats work for experienced developers. Meta Box Builder moves that job into a visual editor. You choose from more than 40 field types, drag them into the order you want, and set where and when each meta box appears using location, priority, context and conditional logic options.

The builder works with other Meta Box extensions, including groups, settings pages, custom post types, taxonomies and Gutenberg blocks. When a setup is ready, you can export it as PHP code or as an import file, then reuse it on other sites. It also generates code snippets for showing field data in your theme or plugin.

Features

• Drag-and-drop field designer: Build meta boxes by dragging and arranging any of more than 40 field types, with no coding needed to lay out the fields.
• Full field and parameter support: Every built-in Meta Box field and parameter is supported, so you can configure each field the same way you would in code.
• Visual display controls: Set where and when meta boxes and fields appear using location, priority, context and conditional logic options in the editor.
• Works with Meta Box extensions: Compatible with groups, settings pages, custom post types, taxonomies and Gutenberg blocks, so you can build more complex structures visually.
• PHP code export: Generate PHP code for your meta boxes and fields, so you can deploy the same configuration to other WordPress sites without the builder installed on them.
• Code snippets for themes: Get ready-to-use snippets that fetch and display field data inside your theme or plugin, which cuts down hand-written template code.
• Gutenberg block creation: Define custom Gutenberg blocks visually through a PHP-based interface, without setting up React or Webpack.
• Import and export of configurations: Move your meta box configurations between projects to keep setups consistent across several sites.

Best for

• Beginners who need custom fields without coding
