Meta Box Columns 1.2.16

Overview

Meta Box Columns is a powerful extension designed to enhance the layout and usability of WordPress custom fields by organizing them within a flexible 12-column grid system. As an add-on for the popular Meta Box plugin, it transforms the traditional vertically stacked custom fields into a neatly arranged, horizontal grid, drastically improving the editing experience. This refined layout helps developers and content managers quickly access, view, and manage multiple fields without endless scrolling, making the entire backend interface much more intuitive and user-friendly. What sets Meta Box Columns apart is its seamless integration with existing Meta Box setups and its effortless adaptation to legacy code, allowing developers to upgrade their meta boxes without hassle. By presenting custom fields side by side, it saves valuable screen space and provides a comprehensive overview of content input areas at a glance. Furthermore, when combined with the MB Tabs extension, it offers an even more streamlined solution by grouping fields into organized tabs, boosting productivity and navigation ease within WordPress edit screens.
