Description

The Meta Box add-on connects fields created by the Meta Box plugin to the facets and card builder of WP Grid Builder, allowing content to be filtered by any field type, including cloneable multiple selections within groups. The extension is recommended for those who already structure posts, products, directories or portfolios with complex metadata and need to transform those values into searchable filters and information displayed on cards.

The Meta Box functions as a bridge between complex custom fields and the visual logic of WP Grid Builder.
