EffectIO Custom Meta Boxes 1.0.2

Description:

Custom Meta Boxes is a framework for WordPress that lets developers easily add custom fields to the post edit page through metaboxes. It includes several field types, such as WYSIWYG editors, media upload and dates, with a full list available in the project wiki. The framework also supports repeatable and grouped fields, and it features a basic layout engine that allows you to align fields to a simple 12 column grid.

The project is aimed at developers and is easily extended and customized. It takes a highly modular, Object Orientated approach, with each field built as an extension of the CMB_Field abstract class. To use it, you download the latest release or clone from master, then include the custom-meta-boxes.php framework file either in your theme by adding a require_once line to functions.php, or as an MU plugin. You add your own meta boxes through the cmb_meta_boxes filter, and the wiki provides more details and example code.

The plugin is maintained by Human Made Limited and began as a fork of Custom Meta Boxes, though it is no longer compatible with that project. Minimum requirements are PHP 5.4 or higher and WordPress 4.1 or higher. The project is no longer actively maintained, and the readme points users to CMB2 for metaboxes. Known issues include some fields not working well as repeatable fields or within repeatable groups.

The vendor’s own page for Custom Meta Boxes has the full details.
