Meta Boxes Overview

Visibility Conditions

With the Visibility Conditions, you can show or hide meta boxes, depending on user role or taxonomy terms.

We have a dedicated guide about this option; you can check it out here.

Meta Fields

Finally, you can add the Meta Fields to the box. There are no limitations on the number of meta fields in one meta box. You can add as many of them as you want by clicking the “New Meta Field” button. Any of the Meta Fields can be edited, duplicated, and deleted. Besides that, you can change the position of the field in a list by simply dragging it with the pointer.

You can find more detailed information about available options in the meta field’s settings from this tutorial.

When you are done, click the “Add Meta Box” button to save progress.

First, open the WordPress Dashboard and proceed to the JetEngine > Meta Boxes block. Click the “Add New” button at the top of the page.
