Meta Box

Registro de cambios

5.14.1 – 2026-08-16

• Tighten security for Abilities: users now need the edit_post capability (or equivalent) to read custom field values, so sensitive data is only accessible to users who can edit content

5.14.0 – 2026-07-30

Highlights:

This release introduces Block Bindings for Meta Box fields, allowing you to bind field values directly to blocks in the WordPress editor. Meta Box fields now appear as a source in the block bindings panel, making it easy to use custom field data inside blocks without shortcodes or PHP.
