Meta Box

I understand. The problem that made me choose meta box for settings page is keeping the consistency in the code as they share the same API for meta boxes. This is also applied in some famous frameworks such as Genesis or Hybrid Theme.

Anyway, I will think more about using tabs/sections as another option (later). WordPress uses tabs/sections for its settings page, while using meta boxes for edit pages. This inconsistency of WordPress itself makes developers like us harder to make a good decision. Also the API WordPress offers for them are totally different which make things more inconsistent.

I see. I will check the updater plugin and the updating system. There might be an issue in the first check.

Btw, I've added it to the latest version. Cheers!

Hi, I've just added this to Github [issue](https://github.com/rilwis/meta-box/issues/803) to keep tracking the development. We will work on this later. Please be patient.

Btw, for User Role, it only change after page load so you can use PHP condition to work with it. For instance:

if ( current_user_can( 'administrator' ) )
{
  $meta_boxes = []; // Your meta box
}

Hi Rik,

I think it's a good feature. However, do you think it will confuse user if they enable it for both default WP editor and WYSIWYG, or 2 WYSIWYG fields?

Dear Mike,

Thanks for your contribution, can you please post your code that you used to register meta boxes? I've tested in statement and see that it still works. This is my example:

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function( $meta_boxes ) {

	 $meta_boxes[] = array(
        'id'         => 'personal',
        'title'      => __( 'Personal Information', 'textdomain' ),
        'post_types' => array( 'post', 'page', 'product' ),
        'context'    => 'normal',
        'priority'   => 'high',
        'fields' => array(
        	array(
        		'name' => 'dummy_checkbox',
        		'type' => 'checkbox_list',
        		'id'	=> 'dummy_checkbox',
        		'options' => array('foo', 'bar', 'baz')
        	),
            array(
                'name'  => __( 'Full name', 'textdomain' ),
                'desc'  => 'Format: First Last',
                'id'    => 'fname',
                'type'  => 'text',
                'std'   => 'Anh Tran',
                'class' => 'custom-class',
                'visible' => array('dummy_checkbox', 'in', array(1,2))
            ),
        )
    );

	 return $meta_boxes;
});

Best regards

Tan
