Today we're happy to introduction to the new version of Meta Box Builder which has massive improvements, tons of new features. We can't wait for your feedback and of course, let's go through the detail of this update:
Meta Box version 5.6 released
The latest stable version of Meta Box is now available for download and update from wordpress.org. This minor version has a big improvement for file and image upload field, which makes them now cloneable. It also adds new styles for cloning fields and various improvements for code quality.
Introducing Custom Post Type extension
For years, the Meta Box plugin is known as a tool to creates only custom meta boxes and custom fields in WordPress. But that is not the limit of the plugin. With the power of extensions, the Meta Box plugin can do many things that we can imagine. The Custom Post Type extension is born to fill in the gap with the ability to create custom post types in WordPress with easy-to-use interface, which helps you to make your website a professional CMS.
While there are some plugins which do the same task like Custom Post Type UI, but I don't feel comfortable with the interface of that plugin. I think users need a cleaner and simpler interface to do the job.
The Custom Post Type extension tries to solve that problem by using React JS to add live editing mode to the post type configuration screen. This mode auto generates necessary labels for your post types, so you don't need to manually enter one by one.
Besides, using the API provided by the Meta Box plugin, all settings for custom post types are organized in meta boxes, which can be toggled, collapsed to have a better look.
When building this extension, we hope to give users a truly completed solution to manage WordPress websites without coding! (Meta Box Builder is another part). We are moving forward and there will be more exciting extensions coming out soon!

Yoast SEO plugin probably is the most popular SEO plugin for WordPress. One of best features this plugin provides is content analysis for SEO. Unfortunately, this plugin analyzes only post content while our pages may have additional content in custom fields. This content is also outputted in the frontend and is visible to search engines and should be analyzed for SEO, too. Now, this can be done with Meta Box Yoast SEO.

New Extension: Meta Box Group
I received quite a lot of questions asking about repeater field in Meta Box. It’s a group of fields and can be cloned. It’s widely used by people to organize fields and make data more structural. That’s why I created Meta Box Group (I name it group as it actually groups fields).
The Meta Box Group extension allows you to put some normal fields in groups (a new field type group is automatically created). Groups can be cloned and you will have unlimited array of structural data.
