How It Works
Configure Your Meta Box
Set the title, choose which post types it appears on, and configure the context and priority.
Add Your Fields
Add text inputs, textareas, checkboxes, select dropdowns, and more.
Copy the Code
Get clean, well-commented PHP code following WordPress coding standards.
Production-Ready Code
The generator outputs code that follows WordPress best practices.
/**
* Save meta box data
*/
function product_details_save_meta_box( $post_id ) {
// Verify nonce
if ( ! isset( $_POST['product_details_nonce'] ) ) {
return;
}
if ( ! wp_verify_nonce( $_POST['product_details_nonce'], 'product_details' ) ) {
return;
}
// Check autosave
if ( defined( 'DOING_AUTOSAVE' ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) {
return;
}
// Check permissions
if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id ) ) {
return;
}
// Sanitize and save
$price = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['product_price'] );
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_product_price', $price );
}Built for Developers
Theme Development
Add page-specific options, custom fields for portfolio items, or homepage section controls without installing a plugin.
Plugin Development
Scaffold meta boxes for your plugin quickly. Generate the boilerplate, then customize the rendering and save logic.
Client Projects
Give clients custom fields without plugin dependencies. The code lives in the theme, so there's nothing extra to maintain.
