Hi,

I'm using the Metabox builder and want to export the code to use in a plugin without the user downloading the metabox plugin. Right now every time I export it, it only works when I install the metabox plugin.

Is there more detailed documentation available other than https://metabox.io/plugins/meta-box-builder/ ?

Hi, the code still requires the Meta Box plugin to use. It's the heart of all extensions. With the exported code, you can remove the Meta Box Builder extension, but still need to keep Meta Box active!

Hey Anh,

So there is no way to export the metabox code to stand alone in themes or plugins? I have to ship metabox.io with my plugin is what your saying.

I just want to make sure.

Thanks

Meta Box is flexible. You'll need Meta Box plugin to work, if you want to ship the plugins/themes to users without downloading Meta Box, there is a method to do so.

See:Include Meta Box Plugin In Themes/Plugins
