What it does
Custom field setups tend to grow. A page might have fields for events, products and team members all stacked on one edit screen, even though only a few apply to any given post. This extension lets you attach visibility rules to meta boxes and fields so they appear only when the right conditions are met. The result is a tidier backend where editors see the fields that matter for the post in front of them, without wading through the rest.
Rules can check other field values, categories, post formats, post titles and page templates. You can combine several conditions into compound rules, apply them to whole groups of fields and choose from operators such as equals, not equals, contains, starts with, ends with, in and between. The same logic reaches beyond custom fields to any HTML element on the screen, so you can hide default WordPress modules like Publish or Tags on certain pages. It requires the Meta Box plugin and is written with a clean, readable syntax.
Best for
- Developers building custom admin screens with Meta Box
- Agencies handing client sites to non-technical editors
- Content-heavy sites with many custom field types
Features
Show or hide fields and meta boxes
Control the visibility of any meta box or custom field registered with Meta Box or WordPress core, so editors only see fields relevant to the current post.
Rules for any HTML element
Apply visibility conditions to default admin elements such as the Publish or Tags modules, letting you shape the edit screen around your content.
Wide range of operators
Build conditions with operators including equals, not equals, contains, starts with, ends with, in and between, for both simple and complex rules.
Compound conditions and groups
Layer several conditions into one compound rule, or apply visibility settings to an entire group of fields at once for finer control.
Conditions based on post data
Base rules on other field values, categories, post formats, page templates or post titles, so fields adapt to each editing context.
Readable rule syntax
Conditional rules use a clear, straightforward syntax that developers can set up quickly and maintain later without hunting through bulky custom code.
Less admin clutter
Remove meta boxes that do not apply on certain pages, giving content creators a focused editing area with fewer distractions.

Questions about Meta Box Conditional Logic
Does this work without the Meta Box plugin?
No. It is an extension for Meta Box and requires that plugin. It adds conditional visibility to fields and meta boxes, and it can also apply rules to other elements on WordPress edit screens.
Can I hide built-in WordPress boxes like Tags or Publish?
Yes. The conditional logic applies to any HTML element in the backend, so you can hide default modules such as Publish or Tags on pages where they are not needed.
What can a visibility condition check?
Conditions can look at other field values, categories, post formats, page templates and post titles. You can use operators like equals, contains, starts with, in and between, and combine multiple conditions into compound rules.
Can I apply one rule to several fields at once?
Yes. Group support lets you attach visibility settings to an entire group of fields, so a single condition can show or hide a whole set instead of configuring each field separately.
