Meta Box Views

Build front-end templates for WordPress without touching theme files. Support Twig and all field types.

You want to get values of Meta Box fields and put them on your front-end templates, but you’re not too familiar with coding and don’t want to touch theme files?

Meet Meta Box Views!

Meta Box Views is an extension for Meta Box, which helps you to get Meta Box fields and build your templates on the front end fast and easily.

With Meta Box Views, you can just select fields you want to show, fill in some parameters and done! The extension supports all custom fields built with Meta Box, and also post fields (such as post title and post content), site settings, user fields and even query fields.

You can also customize all templates in WordPress, even for post types that don’t have Meta Box fields.

Powerful Template Editors
Meta Box Views allows you to write any HTML, CSS and JavaScript for your templates. So you have full control of what will be outputted on the front end, and thus, you can optimize the output the way you want (for a better semantic or better performance).

That means you no longer have multiple nested “div” like you used to have when using a page builder plugin! And your score on Google PageSpeed Insights will be higher.

By separating HTML, CSS and JavaScript (each of them will have a separated editor with syntax highlighting), you can separate the output and styling, which helps you organizing the views better.

Besides, Meta Box Views supports shortcodes!

One-Click To Insert Fields
Whenever you need to insert a Meta Box field, post field or user field, you can easily do that with single click.

Twig support
Imagine when you want to show a HTML section only when a Meta Box field has value? Or you want to display a specific image when a post doesn’t have a featured image? Of course, that can’t be done with HTML.

With Twig, the problem is solved easily! Twig is the most popular template engine for PHP, which is flexible and fast.

Integrating Twig in Meta Box Views, you’re now able to write conditions (if..else), control structures (for loop) and use a lot of useful filters to format the output.

Build Your Templates, Not Just Content
And you can set MB Views to render the rule for the whole layout or only render for the post content area. That means you have a full control of the layout output and thus, you can customize better.

With the connection with object fields and query fields, you can get all posts and output your posts as a grid or list in an archive page. Or output post tile, content and comments in a singular page template.

This opens a lot of possibility to redesign your website without touching or changing your theme files!

Or maybe you can forget your theme now!
