Overview

Welcome to the Betta Boxes CMS plugin. This plugin turns your WordPress Blog into a powerful CMS, without the need to get down and dirty in the source code.
Betta Boxes gives you a clean, simple administration user interface to create custom fields, and link them to Posts, Pages, and any Custom Post Types you have!

Betta Boxes uses the default WordPress functionality of ‘post meta’. This means the plugin works with WordPress, rather than fighting against it.

You can create the following types of custom fields, and link them to any post types:

Field Types

  • Short Text
  • Long Text
  • HTML Text
  • Drop Down
  • Check Boxes
