Description

Show Hide adds conditional rules to Meta Box, allowing the display or hiding of metaboxes and metadata fields based on criteria defined in the content registration, such as post context, taxonomies, or selections made in the admin panel. This additional feature helps developers and administrators keep editing screens cleaner, showing only the relevant fields for each content type or editorial flow configured in WordPress.

Main Features

  • Conditional rules
    Controls when fields and metaboxes appear during content editing.
  • Field hiding
    Visually removes fields that do not apply to the current context.
  • Integration with Meta Box
    Applies conditions directly to structures created in the base plugin.
  • Content-based criteria
    Allows adjusting display according to data associated with the edited item.
  • More organized panel
    Reduces unnecessary fields in WordPress admin screens.

Benefits of Show Hide

  • Clearer editing
    Users see only useful fields for each situation.
  • Fewer manual errors
    Irrelevant fields no longer confuse content fill-in.
  • More precise workflows
    Each registration type can follow its own visual logic.
  • Simplified maintenance
    Developers organize interfaces without creating separate admin screens.

Who Is It For?

  • Developers who create custom panels with Meta Box.
  • Agencies that maintain WordPress sites with many editorial fields.
  • Administrators who need to simplify registration screens in WordPress.

Show Hide works as a visual control layer for projects that intensely use custom metadata. Instead of displaying all fields in every scenario, the extension allows panel organization according to the real need for filling, reducing operational noise and making Meta Box usage more suitable for specific editorial structures.
