What it does
Sites that rely on custom fields often end up running a long list of separate add-ons, each one installed and managed on its own. Meta Box AIO replaces that list with one plugin that contains the framework and every premium extension. Your plugins screen stays shorter, and you can build custom content types and field groups without writing code. It works alongside the core Meta Box plugin, which it lists as a requirement.
A settings page under Meta Box, Extensions lets you switch individual extensions on or off, so unused features stay disabled. Developers get filters such as mb_aio_show_settings and mb_aio_extensions to hide that page from clients or control active extensions in code. Field group data migrates automatically to the React-based interface during upgrades, with a manual fallback if needed. It also includes tools for custom tables with a column schema editor, plus Local JSON syncing and import of field groups, settings pages and blocks.
Best for
- Developers building custom content types and field groups
- Agencies managing many client sites with custom fields
- Site builders who want custom data without writing code
Features
Framework and extensions bundled
Includes the Meta Box framework and all premium extensions in one plugin, so you manage a single package instead of many separate add-ons.
Per-extension on and off switches
A dedicated settings page under Meta Box, Extensions lets you enable only the extensions your site uses and leave the rest disabled.
Developer filters for control
Filters like mb_aio_show_settings and mb_aio_extensions let you hide the settings page from users or set which extensions are active in code.
Automatic field group migration
Field group data moves to the React-based interface during upgrades, and a URL parameter can trigger the migration manually if the automatic step fails.
Individual plugins take priority
If you activate an extension on its own, it overrides the bundled copy, which helps when you want to test a newer release of one extension.
Custom table schema editor
Define column types and indexes for field group custom tables, with columns added for new fields and the WordPress table prefix used by default.
Local JSON sync and import
Field groups, settings pages and blocks can sync to JSON files, and importing a file with an existing ID updates that object instead of duplicating it.

Questions about Meta Box AIO
Do I still need the core Meta Box plugin?
Yes. Meta Box AIO lists the Meta Box plugin as a requirement. The AIO package adds the framework's premium extensions on top, all managed from one place in your WordPress admin.
Can I turn off extensions I don't use?
Yes. Go to Meta Box, Extensions and enable or disable each extension individually. Developers can also use the mb_aio_extensions filter to decide in code which extensions are active, and mb_aio_show_settings to hide the settings page from other users.
What happens to my existing field groups when the interface changes?
Field group data migrates automatically to the React-based interface during upgrades. If that migration fails for some reason, a URL parameter lets you run it manually, so your existing field data stays intact.
Can I store field data in custom database tables?
Yes. Meta Box AIO includes a column schema editor for field group custom tables, where you set column types and indexes. New fields get columns automatically, and new tables use the WordPress table prefix by default.
