One of the most valuable feedback from our survey is to make it easier to get started with the plugin. While we put a lot of effort to improve our documentation (live search and many tutorials), beginners still have some difficulty using the powerful plugin. That's why we create Online Generator tool.
We often receive questions asking about the demo for Meta Box plugin and the extensions. People want to see how they work in reality. And because most of the extensions required custom coding, the task of creating a demo website is delayed until now. Today we're happy to release the demo suite website, which includes the demos for almost all premium and free extensions.

There are 15 demos available at the moment and will be more in the future. We hope you enjoy it. And if you find any problem, please let us know via the Contact page.
At the moment, each extension of the plugin Meta Box is provided separately. They acts like a small module that provides only one functionality for one purpose. While this approach is good for continuous development, users might not want that. Some users who purchased the Developer Bundle have suggested a AIO package that includes all the extension in a plugin. This way, they only need to install 1 plugin instead of 15, keeping the Plugins page clean and still have all the functionality.
Embeding the meta boxes in the frontend is a frequent question from our users. And today, we're happy to release a new extension to resolve this problem - MB Frontend Submission. This extension not only allows you to put meta box form in the frontend, but also handle the post submission as well. So you can use it as a true solution for user-submitted content.

We're happy to release the new version of the Meta Box Group that supports collapsing/expanding groups with a new UI. This version truly bring the power and usefulness of the groups to our users. With it, you can collapse a very long group, drag and drop it to reorder and save that collapsible state. So next time you edit that post, that group is collapsed automatically.

Since version 2.2, developers can use the Meta Box Builder to export PHP code that can be used on another websites without the extension. You can use Meta Box Builder to prototype the custom fields to test. When everything works, you can export the PHP code to use to increase the website performance.

The New Year is here and we wish you health, success, and fun! 2016 is a great year for Meta Box when it reached 200.000 active installs (counted by WordPress.org), excluding users who are using Meta Box as a included module in themes. That is a double from the last year! And we want to say thank you to you all to support us and help us make the software a better tool for both developers and users.
