Field Groups
Build meta boxes of custom fields for posts, pages, taxonomies, users, and options pages — with AND/OR location rules and per-field settings.
Where to find it
SiteNivo → Field Groups
Anatomy of a field group
- Title — admin label for the group
- Fields — ordered list; Add Field opens a searchable type picker; drag to reorder; Edit / Duplicate / Delete; copy field key
- Location Rules — where the group appears
- Group Settings — Style, Position, Label Placement, Active/Inactive
How to build a group
Create the group
Add New and name it (e.g. Book Details).
Add fields
Pick types from the Field Types list. Configure Label, Name (key), Required, Instructions, Placeholder, and type-specific options.
Conditional logic (optional)
Per field: show/hide using operators == != > < >= <= contains not_contains empty not_empty with AND/OR.
Location rules
Example: Post Type equals book. See Location Rules.
Group settings
Style: Default metabox or Seamless. Position: Normal / Side / After Title. Labels: Top / Left / Hidden. Status: Active.
Save
Edit a matching post — the meta box appears.
