Meta Box 5.10.14 – Core
Description
Meta Box is a free WordPress plugin and framework for building custom fields and meta boxes inside the block editor. It helps you customize how content is structured, so teams can capture the right details without cluttering the main page design. By streamlining data entry for editors, it reduces manual effort when managing posts, pages, and custom content. Meta Box is Gutenberg-ready, making it easier to work with modern WordPress workflows.
With a flexible approach to field and meta box setup, Meta Box supports scalable content management as your site grows.
