Creating relationships from posts to posts is a common question for WordPress developers. Previously, you can do that with the post field type in Meta Box. But that's not really the true solution, because you hardly create bi-directional relationships. Besides, querying by custom fields is not recommended.
Sometimes, you may want to show product images, a portfolio, or just a photography album on your site. So, the image gallery is very helpful. You can upload images to your website via a custom field then display them as a gallery on a page.

In the State of the Word 2016, Matt Mullenweg said that one of three main focuses of WordPress in the next year will be the editor, which will be block-based and unify widgets, interface for shortcodes. The result is the new the Gutenberg editor, which was first introduced to the public at WordCamp Europe 2017. However, it raises many concerns with the existing meta box API. In this post, we'll take a deep look at those problems and the future of the Meta Box plugin (and similar plugins/frameworks).
We're happy to announce the release of Meta Box 4.12 today. This is a minor update with a big improvement for the meta storage and some interesting features. If you're using old version of Meta Box, please update now.
A few days ago, we launched a new design for metabox.io and introducing a Lifetime Bundle. The great thing about lifetime bundle is you buy once and have all extensions forever, including the updates and support. But you already bought a Core Bundle or Developer Bundle? Never mind, the upgrade is available for all users of Core Bundle and Developer Bundle. And you have to pay just the difference in value.
If you already bought Core Bundle, you're able to upgrade either to Developer Bundle or Lifetime Bundle. If you already bought Developer Bundle, you're able to upgrade to Lifetime Bundle.
To upgrade, just go to My Account page and you'll see a notice with a pay button. Simply clicking that button and you're done! Please remember that you don't need to pay for full price. You have to pay only the difference in value.
For example, if you have Developer Bundle ($199), upgrading to Lifetime Bundle takes only $300 ($499 - $199). So, if you haven't upgrade your bundle, it's time to do that. It's worth your money!
But if you can't upgrade now, it's totally fine. You can upgrade anytime you want.
If you find any issue upgrading, please let us know in the comments.
Updated 2020: Due to change in payment gateway, upgrades are NOT available at the moment. If you buy a bundle and then want to upgrade to a higher bundle, please let us know within 14 days. We can issue the refund for the previous buy.
