Meta Box Include Exclude

Meta boxes can contain fields that apply only to certain content or editors. This extension lets you set conditions for showing or hiding them, so the admin interface can reflect the content being edited. Choose from conditions such as post IDs, page templates, taxonomies, and user roles to define where each meta box appears.

Combine multiple conditions with AND or OR logic to create visibility rules that match a site's content structure. Parent post IDs and parent categories can also guide visibility. For more tailored rules, developers can use custom PHP functions. The extension is an add-on to the Meta Box plugin and can work with MB User Meta to base visibility on user roles, IDs, or capabilities.

Features

• Post and page rules: Set meta box visibility for specific post IDs or page templates, so fields appear in the relevant editing contexts.
• Taxonomy conditions: Use categories, tags, and custom taxonomies to show or hide meta boxes according to a post's taxonomy terms.
• Combined conditions: Join multiple visibility conditions with AND or OR logic to define rules that account for several content requirements.
• Parent content rules: Use parent post IDs or parent categories to connect meta box visibility to a parent element in the content hierarchy.
• Custom PHP functions: Write custom conditional PHP functions to define when a meta box appears or hides, supporting site-specific display logic.
• User-based visibility: Work with MB User Meta to conditionally display meta boxes based on user roles, user IDs, or capabilities.
