Hi, getting on really well with MetaBox, keep up the good work 🙂

Please could you assist with some insight in how to do the following:
rwmb_meta_boxes filter runs on every page/request. I have some big queries for populating select fields and I would like to fire these queries on only two pages 'front-end' else leave the select options empty on all other pages to optimise the site.

rwmb_meta_boxes fires before any wp templating/page processing so I cannot use 'is_page' or similar functions.

I'd be very grateful if you can point me in the right direction for a solution.
Cheers

Hi Martin,

You can use the extension MB Include Exclude to load the meta box for a/some specific page. Get more details here https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-include-exclude/.

Or show a field base on some conditions with MB Conditional Logic https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-conditional-logic/.
