How it works

What this skill actually does

Supported Content Types

Custom fields can be attached to posts, pages, custom post types, taxonomies (via MB Term Meta), settings pages and Customizer sections (via MB Settings Page), user profile pages (via MB User Profile), and post comments (via MB Comment Meta). This flexibility makes Meta Box suitable for building complex content architectures.

Developer Features

Meta Box uses native WordPress meta data storage and functions for performance. It supports cloneable (repeatable) fields for all field types including WYSIWYG, and repeatable field groups via the Group extension. Developers can create custom field types, and the plugin provides extensive actions and filters for customization. Meta Box integrates with Composer for dependency management.

Agent Integration

For AI agents working with WordPress, Meta Box fields are exposed through the WordPress REST API, making them accessible for content automation workflows. The plugin integrates with page builders (Elementor, Beaver Builder, Divi, Bricks, Brizy), SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math), and supports migration from ACF or Toolset. Meta Box Lite provides a free UI for managing fields without code. Install from WordPress.org or via Composer with composer require wpmetabox/meta-box.
