Overview

Custom fields tend to pile up. A post type with dozens of loose inputs is hard to scan, and editors lose time hunting for the right box. Meta Box Group puts related fields into one cluster, so the editing screen follows the structure of your content. Each group can be opened or closed, which keeps the screen focused on what you are working on.

The plugin also handles repeating data. You can clone an entire group, including its nested sub-fields, with one click, and nest groups at multiple levels. That suits things like book details, music albums or event schedules. Sub-fields are stored together in a single database row, and groups can be dragged into a new order after cloning. It also works with MB Columns for horizontal layouts.

Features

  • Group related custom fields: Place related custom fields together in one group, so meta boxes on pages, posts and custom post types are clearer to read and easier to fill in.
  • Repeatable groups with cloning: Duplicate a whole group and all of its nested sub-fields with a single click, which saves time when entering repetitive data such as albums or schedules.
  • Multi-level nesting: Build hierarchical data structures by placing groups inside other groups, with no limit on how many nesting levels you use for detailed content.
  • Collapsible group sections: Open or close each group while editing to reduce clutter on the screen and keep attention on the content you are working on.
  • Drag-and-drop reordering: Rearrange cloned groups directly on a post or page by dragging them, so repeated entries stay in a logical order.
  • Single-row data storage: Sub-fields are consolidated into one database row, which reduces the number of separate entries and keeps stored data tidier.
  • MB Columns layouts: Work with MB Columns to display groups horizontally in a column grid, which makes fields easier to read side by side.
  • Dynamic group titles: Set group headings that include numbering and sub-field values, so each group reflects its content and is easy to find in a long list.
