I have been asked for adding custom fields to category or tags. And MB Term Meta is my answer!
This extension helps you adding custom fields to any taxonomy using the similar syntax of Meta Box. You can set category icon, featured image, color or add any custom data you want.
The new year is coming very soon and we wish you health, success and fun! 2015 is a successful year for Meta Box when it reached 100.000 active installs (counted by WordPress.org), excluding users who are using Meta Box as a included module in themes.
We also released 10 extensions this year, including very popular extensions such as MB Group or MB Conditional Logic. Next year, we hope to release more than 10 extensions which cover many areas of usage for you.
The latest month of 2015 is the month of free extensions of Meta Box when they're all updated to new API.
For months, I received a lot of requests asking whether Meta Box is possible to create theme options page or settings page for plugins. People asked this because they love the simplicity of the plugin and the beauty of the syntax (FYI the idea of using array syntax is inspired by Options Framework plugin). If they can integrate Meta Box into WordPress themes for adding custom data for posts, then why can't they do the same for theme options?
The latest version 4.7 of Meta Box has been just released today with a new improvement which allow users to add custom attributes for inputs like text, URL, email fields. This feature is very helpful if developers want to add something like data-* attribute for their custom JS code.

Today we're happy to introduction to the new version of MB 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:
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.
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! (MB Builder is another part). We are moving forward and there will be more exciting extensions coming out soon!
