Meta Box Include Exclude Addon is a powerful extension for the popular Meta Box plugin that gives you precise control over where your custom meta boxes and custom fields appear in the WordPress admin panel.
Instead of displaying every meta box on every post, page, or custom post type, this addon lets you define exact conditions — so your fields show up only where they’re truly needed. The result is a cleaner, more focused editing experience for you and your team.
Key Features
- Granular Include/Exclude Rules — Show or hide meta boxes based on post ID, page template, post format, taxonomy, user role, and more.
- Multiple Condition Types — Combine conditions using both include and exclude logic for maximum flexibility.
- Template-Based Control — Target specific page templates to display relevant fields only on the right layouts.
- User Role Filtering — Restrict sensitive fields to admins or specific roles, improving security and workflow clarity.
- Lightweight & Performance-Friendly — No bloat, no unnecessary scripts — just clean, efficient conditional logic.
