Overview
This extension is suited to structured content workflows where different editing fields apply only in specific situations. For example, an editor can reveal product details after selecting a product type, or display fields only for a particular page template, post format, category, or featured-image state.
Show or hide individual Meta Box custom fields.
Show or hide complete meta boxes registered with Meta Box or WordPress core.
Target selected HTML or DOM elements, including supported WordPress editor controls.
Use comparison operators such as equals, not equals, greater than, less than, contains, in, between, starts with, and ends with.
Combine multiple conditions using all-condition or any-condition logic.
Configure rules through MB Builder or by adding conditional settings in PHP.
Apply conditions to fields inside groups, with cloneable-group rules evaluated within each clone.
Use custom JavaScript callbacks for specialized conditions.
Compatibility and setup context
- Designed for content structures registered with the Meta Box framework; Meta Box or a compatible Meta Box bundle is part of the setup context.
- MB Builder provides a visual interface for conditional rules when the Conditional Logic extension is installed.
- The official documentation identifies autocomplete fields as a known limitation.
- Because visibility is handled with JavaScript, hidden inputs can still be submitted and saved; test field-saving behavior and editor-specific integrations on a staging site.
- Verify behavior with the exact WordPress editor, field types, group configuration, and other Meta Box extensions used by the site before deployment.
