Meta Box Template

Custom meta boxes and fields can require PHP array configuration. Meta Box Template lets you describe them with YAML, a readable text format, and use those definitions to customize WordPress edit pages. This gives developers and site owners a way to manage field structures in a format that is easier to scan and edit.

Use YAML templates to create as many meta boxes and custom fields as a project needs. The templates can be copied between websites to reuse field setups across projects. You can also change field names and parameters in the YAML, so configuration edits do not require rewriting PHP arrays.

Features

• Readable YAML configuration: Define custom meta boxes and fields in human-readable YAML instead of configuring them with PHP arrays.
• Meta Box parameters: Configure meta boxes and fields using the available Meta Box parameters to shape their settings for a project.
• Create many fields: Add as many custom meta boxes and fields as a project requires, with no stated limit on their number.
• Reusable templates: Copy YAML templates between websites to recreate meta box and field configurations across multiple projects.
• Edit field settings: Change custom field names and parameters in the YAML configuration when a site's content structure needs to change.
• Customize edit pages: Use custom meta boxes and fields to tailor WordPress edit pages to the content managed on a site.

Best for

• WordPress site owners managing custom fields
• Developers building WordPress projects
• Teams reusing field setups across websites
