    I've used Metabox to create a custom post type and fields for a particular website. If I export these to code and add them to the site as a plugin, do I need to keep the Metabox plugin installed on the site for the custom fields & CPT to continue to work on that site?

    Hello Julia,

    For the CPT, you can deactivate Meta Box to use the code to register the CPT. It's the WordPress function register_post_type() with arguments.

    For custom fields, you still need to activate Meta Box to register custom fields. Please follow the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/creating-fields-with-code/

    Thank you. So, to clarify, if I export both the custom post type and the fields to code as depicted in the link you sent, I still need to include the free version of Meta Box only?

    Hello,

    Simply, yes. You still need to activate Meta Box (free) plugin in order to use CPT and custom fields on your site.
