Meta Box

Hi,

That's not 100% true.

As you already bought all extensions, you have the MB Builder extension which allows you to create meta boxes and custom fields with UI. You don't need to code if you use it.

You also don't need to code if you use free extensions: MB Custom Post Type or MB Custom Taxonomy.

Other extensions require you to add custom code to your themes/plugins. Please follow the documentation of each extension for more details.

Hi,

Are you using both exclude and hide at the same time? If exclude rule is there, then meta box is not outputted in the page and thus, the hide rule doesn't work.

Hi ClementN,

You can use Conditional Logic in this case. Just add

    'visible'	 => array('original_post_status', '!=', 'publish'),

When you want to show meta box when post is not published, and vice versa.

In case you want to show post on specify post status like publish, draft... just put the original status to the value of conditional logic, like so:

    'visible'	 => array('original_post_status', 'auto-draft'),

For example:

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function( $meta_boxes )
{
	$meta_boxes[] = array(
        'title'      => 'Media',
        'visible'	 => array('original_post_status', '!=', 'publish'),
        'fields'     => array(
            array(
                'name' => 'URL',
                'id'   => 'tanurl',
                'type' => 'text',
            ),
        )
    );

	return $meta_boxes;
} );

No, they aren't. These fields are used to show content in the meta boxes only.

Yes, if field is empty, then the meta is removed for that post to keep the database clean.

Nice solution. This is not supported by the plugin by default and it's nice to know that can be solved with another solution.

The order you register meta boxes is the order of them when you see. But if you have changed their order by drag and drop them manually, then that order will be saved and used in the future. In that case you need to reorder them manually again.
