This page shows the changes and updates for the free Meta Box plugin. If you see any problem, please let us know. And you can always rollback to previous version if something goes wrong.

To see changelog of all extensions, please see here.

5.10.0 – 2024-08-20

This version introduces new parameter for field: clone_empty_start that makes cloneable groups not showing inputs at first. When users want to enter data, they’ll need to click the “+ Add new” button. This feature updates the UI and makes it cleaner.

The icon field type will be added to the new version of Meta Box Builder soon, which will allow you to configure its settings with UI.

5.8.2 - 2023-10-13
  • Google Maps & OSM: ask for current user location for the map if there is no saved location or no default location is set (#1537)
  • Fix media templates missing in blocks (#1536)
5.8.1 – 2023-09-20
  • Fix missing validation files
5.8.0 – 2023-09-20

Highlights:

This version improves validation module, makes it work for file’s MIME types and in groups. More specifically, validation now works in the following cases:

  • Cloneable fields
  • file and image fields, both non-cloneable & cloneable.
  • Subfields in groups, including file and image. For required subfields, asterisks are also added properly.

It works well with Meta Box Builder and with code.

An improvement for registering validation rules with code is that you only need to set field ID in all cases. Previously, you had to set like _file_{field_id}[] for files, or field_id[] for taxonomy fields.

  • Output media templates only on edit pages
  • Remove non-existing icon files in jQueryUI CSS

5.7.0 – 2023-05-23

Highlights:

Add add_new option (bool) for post, taxonomy, taxonomy_advanced and user fields, allowing users to add new posts, terms or users without leaving the edit screen. The add new action is done in a popup in the current edit screen, where you can set all the necessary data for the new item.
