Meta Box Views

Showing custom field data on the front end usually means writing PHP templates by hand and editing theme files. Meta Box Views replaces that step with an interface where you select fields and insert them into a template. It works with Meta Box custom fields, post fields, user fields, site settings and query fields, including cloneable groups and custom user fields.

Each view has separate editors for HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and you can use the Twig templating engine for conditions, loops and filters. Location rules decide where a view appears, such as a single post, a post archive, a category archive or the homepage. A view can fill the whole page layout or sit only inside the content area, so the theme stays untouched.

Features

• Template building without PHP: Build and customize templates by selecting and inserting fields. You do not need to write PHP or change any theme files to display your content.
• Wide Meta Box field support: Display Meta Box custom fields, post fields, user fields, site settings and query fields, so the data you store can be shown on the front end.
• Separate code editors: Write HTML, CSS and JavaScript for each view in its own editor with syntax highlighting, which keeps the code organized and easy to read.
• One-click field insertion: Insert any field into a template with a single click from a panel. This includes cloneable groups and custom user fields with flexible output options.
• Twig templating engine: Use Twig syntax to add conditional logic, loops and filters, so a template can present dynamic and personalized content.
• Advanced location rules: Set where a template appears: a single post, post archive, category archive, homepage or another WordPress page, using combined and customizable conditions.
• Flexible layout control: Choose whether a template renders as the entire page layout or only within the content area, without modifying your theme files.
