MB Custom Table

WordPress normally stores each custom field as a separate row in its meta table. MB Custom Table stores custom field values together in a single row, with a column for each meta key. This approach suits sites that work with large or growing amounts of custom data, including eCommerce sites using WooCommerce.

The plugin works with Meta Box field and meta types for posts, users, terms, and comments, without requiring changes to existing meta box definitions. Developers can define tables through an API or use custom models to combine post and meta data in one table. Custom field data can also be viewed, edited, imported, and exported from the table.

Features

• Custom field tables: Store custom field values in a custom database table, with each meta key represented by a column and values for a record held in one row.
• Multiple meta types: Use custom tables for post meta, user meta, term meta, and comment meta data across a WordPress site.
• Developer API: Define and manage custom tables through an API, while keeping existing Meta Box definitions in place.
• Custom data models: Combine post data and meta data in a custom table, then use custom model fields to select rows from that table.
• Table data management: View and edit custom field data in the custom table, with options to import and export that data.
