This single-block plugin allows you to display a meta field or a custom field as a block on the front end. It supports custom fields for posts, terms, and users. It can be nested inside a parent block that has postId and postType context, such as Query Block, WooCommerce Product Collection, or used as a stand-alone block.
You can display any field whose value can be retrieved by the core API (get_post_meta, get_term_meta, get_user_meta) and is a string or can be converted to a string. To display the field value in the Block Editor, it has to be accessible via the REST API or have the field type set to dynamic.
You can also display custom fields created by the Advanced Custom Fields or Meta Box plugin explicitly. It supports all ACF field types and Meta Box field types whose values are st…
Meta Field Block is the perfect tool to display customs fields.
Work perfectly in a loop, where shortcode are not effective.
Meta Field Block feels like the natural born sibling of ACF. It makes working with CPTs a breeze. And Phi’s support is extraterrestrial (stellar?).
This is an awesome plugin, but to be fair, the support is even better. I reached out with more questions on possible customizations or specific application of the product and the development team came back with spot on answers. I wish all WordPress projects were like this one!
We love Meta Field Block. Client wanted to leave his Divi & Elementor website behind for something better and easier – and a WordPress theme w Gutenberg was the way to go. We amped it up some with custom post types (ACF) and with the newish Full Site Editing switch, we wanted to get started with the blocks and ACF with minimal hassle. Meta Field Blocks allowed us to set up page templates that use Gutenberg blocks / native WordPress features while also including custom field groups and custom post types, all together now. The free version of MFB is terrific. I wanted more features so happily paid for the Pro. Support from Phi is fantastic. My client loves his new site. Loves using the blocks, and loves that his site is organized via ACF and Meta Field Blocks.
1000% highly recommended. Just get the plugin already!
I hit the infamous shortcode problem in my html block theme recently. I wasn’t aware there was an issue but doing some research I ended up on a Git forum and came across this plugin. I was already using an ACF plugin for my images but this plugin is more flexible and solved the shortcode issue for post ID as well.
I was attempting to build my site with minimal plugins, and even tried vibe coding a solution to post ID myself, but I would say Meta Field Blocks is essential if you’re trying to call complex dynamic content in your query loop. Excellent work and superb support to boot. Thank you!
