Meta Box Conditional Logic

WordPress editing screens can show fields and meta boxes that are irrelevant to a particular post or page. Meta Box Conditional Logic lets developers set conditions for showing or hiding custom fields registered with Meta Box or WordPress core, along with meta boxes and HTML elements. Editors see information that fits the current content, such as fields tied to a category or post format.

Build rules from values in other fields and post data, including categories, post formats, and post titles. Conditions can use operators such as equals, contains, starts with, ends with, and between. Combine multiple conditions or apply visibility rules to groups of fields to shape the editing interface around different content needs, without writing custom code for those rules.

Features

• Control field visibility: Show or hide custom fields registered with Meta Box or WordPress core according to conditions, so editors see fields relevant to the content they are editing.
• Hide admin elements: Set visibility rules for HTML and DOM elements, including default WordPress elements such as the Publish or Tags modules.
• Choose condition operators: Create rules with operators including equals, not equals, contains, starts with, ends with, in, and between.
• Combine conditions: Layer multiple conditions into compound rules, or apply visibility settings to entire groups of fields.
• Use post data in rules: Base visibility conditions on other field values, categories, post formats, and post titles to adapt editing screens to the current post.
• Set rules without custom code: Configure field and element visibility through conditional rules, without writing custom code for the visibility behavior.
