Overview
Sites built on Meta Box often hold a lot of custom field data that is only visible inside individual edit screens. This plugin brings that data into the overview tables for posts, pages, users, taxonomies and comments. You choose which fields appear as columns, then sort, search and edit them in place. It supports a wide range of Meta Box field types, from basic text and numbers to relational fields such as users and taxonomies.
Smart Filters let you narrow large lists with controls matched to each field type, and you can export the filtered results to CSV. You can also save several list table views and switch between them as your tasks change. The plugin respects an existing Meta Box setup, which makes it a good fit for developers who prefer code-based custom fields and for the people who manage the content day to day.
Features
- Meta Box fields as columns: Add columns for supported Meta Box field types to the overview screens for posts, users, taxonomies and comments, so your custom field data is visible at a glance.
- Smart Filters for search: Search and filter Meta Box content from the list table with filters matched to each field type, including text, numbers with range searching, dates and relational fields.
- Inline and bulk editing: Edit Meta Box field values directly in the overview table, one row at a time or across several posts in bulk, without opening each edit page.
- CSV export of filtered data: Export your filtered and sorted Meta Box data to CSV files, including selections that span multiple pages, which suits reporting, backups and data migration.
- Meta Box extension support: Works with MB Custom Table, MB Term Meta, MB User Meta and MB Comment Meta, so field data attached to taxonomies, users and comments can be managed from the same tables.
- Custom table storage support: If you store fields in dedicated database tables with the MB Custom Table extension, you keep sorting, searching, editing and exporting on larger datasets.
- Multiple saved views: Create and save several customized list table views, each with its own column and filter setup, and switch between them for different workflow needs.
- All content types covered: Works with standard posts, pages, custom post types, users, comments and taxonomies, giving you one consistent way to manage data across your site structure.
Best for
