All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
- Fix color-picker field not enqueueing the colorpicker script. (#333)
- Ability to use non-repeatable group fields by setting the
'repeatable'
field param tofalse
when registering a group field type. Props marcusbattle, (#159). - Add and enqeueue a front-end specific CSS file which adds additional styles which are typically covered by wp-admin css. (#311)
- Better handling of the CMB2 javascript (and CSS) required dependencies array. Dependencies are now only added conditionally based on the field types that are actually visible. (#136)
- THIS IS A BREAKING CHANGE: The
group
field type's'show_on_cb'
property now receives theCMB2_Field
object instance as an argument instead of theCMB2
instance. If you're using the'show_on_cb'
property for agroup
field, please adjust accordingly. note: you can still retrieve theCMB2
instance via thecmb2_get_metabox
helper function. - New dynamic hook,
"cmb2_save_{$object_type}_fields_{$this->cmb_id}"
, to complement the existing"cmb2_save_{$object_type}_fields"
hook. - New CMB2 property,
enqueue_js
, to disable the enqueueing of the CMB2 Javascript. - German translation provided by Friedhelm Jost.
- Fix incorrect repeatable group title number. (#310)
- Fix obscure bug which prevented group field arguments from being passed to the sub-fields (like
show_names
andcontext
). - Fixed occasional issue when adding a group row, the previous row's content would be cloned. (#257)
- New metabox/form parameter,
show_on_cb
, allows you to conditionally display a cmb metabox/form via a callback. The$cmb
object gets passed as a parameter to the callback. This complements the'show_on_cb'
parameter that already exists for individual fields. Using this callback is similar to using the'cmb2_show_on'
filter, but only applies to that specific metabox and it is recommended to use this callback instead as it minimizes th risk that your filter will affect other metaboxes. - Taxonomy types no longer save a value. The value getting saved was causing confusion and is not meant to be used. To use the saved taxonomy data, you need to use the WordPress term api,
get_the_terms
,get_the_term_list
, etc. - Add
'multiple'
field parameter to store values in individual rows instead of serialized array. Will only work if field is not repeatable or a repeatable group. Props JohnyGoerend. (#262, #206, #45). - Portuguese (Brazil) translation provided by @lucascdsilva - #293.
- Spanish (Spain) translation updated by @yivi - #272.
- Added group field callback parameters,
'before_group'
,'before_group_row'
,'after_group_row'
,'after_group'
to complement the'before_row'
,'before'
,'after'
,'after_row'
field parameters. - Better styling for
title
fields andtitle
descriptions on options pages. - Add a
sanitization_cb
field parameter check for thegroup
field type. - Better function/file doc-blocks to provide better documentation for automated documentation tools. See: cmb2.io/api.
cmb2_print_metabox_form
,cmb2_metabox_form
, andcmb2_get_metabox_form
helper functions now accept two new parameters:- an
'object_type'
parameter to explictly set that in the$cmb
object. - an
'enqueue_js'
parameter to explicitly disable the CMB JS enqueue. This is handy if you're not planning on using any of the fields which require JS (like color/date pickers, wysiwyg, file, etc).
- an
- Fix issue with oembed fields in repeatable groups where changing video changed it for all fields in a group.
- Fix empty arrays (like in the group field) saving as a value.
- Move
'cmb2_override_meta_value'
and"cmb2_override_{$field_id}_meta_value"
filters to theCMB2_Field::get_data()
method so that the filters are applied every time the data is requested. THIS IS A BREAKING CHANGE: The parameters for those filters have changed a bit. Previously, the filters accepted 5 arguments,$value
,$object_id
,$field_args
,$object_type
,$field
. They have changed to accept 4 arguments instead,$value
,$object_id
,$args
,$field
, where$args
is an array that contains the following:- @type string $type The current object type
- @type int $id The current object ID
- @type string $field_id The ID of the field being requested
- @type bool $repeat Whether current field is repeatable
- @type bool $single Whether current field is a single database row
- Fix grouped fields display (first field was being repeated), broken in 2.0.3.
select
,radio
,radio_inline
field types now all accept the'show_option_none'
field parameter. This parameter allows you to set the text to display for showing a 'no selection' option. Default will befalse
, which means a 'none' option will not be added. Set totrue
to use the default text, 'None', or specify another value, i.e. 'No selection'.
- Fix back-compatibility when adding group field sub-fields via old array method (vs using the
CMB2:add_group_field()
method). Thanks to norcross for reporting. - Fix occasional jQuery issues with group-field indexes.
- New constant,
CMB2_DIR
, which stores the file-path to the CMB2 directory. text_date
,text_time
,text_date_timestamp
,text_datetime_timestamp
, andtext_datetime_timestamp_timezone
field types now take an arguments array so they can be extended by custom field types.- Removed auto-scroll when adding groups. To re-add the feature, use the snippet/plugin here. (#205)
- Updated Timepicker utilizing the @trentrichardson jQuery Timepicker add-on (https://github.com/trentrichardson/jQuery-Timepicker-Addon), and updated Datepicker styles. Props JonMasterson. (#204, #206, #45).
- Added a callback option for the field default value. The callback gets passed an array of all the field parameters as the first argument, and the field object as the second argument. (which means you can get the post id using
$field->object_id
). (#233). - New
CMB2::get_field()
method andcmb2_get_field
helper function for retrieving aCMB2_Field
object from the array of registered fields for a metabox. - New
CMB2::get_sanitized_values()
method andcmb2_get_metabox_sanitized_values
helper function for retrieving sanitized values from an array of values (usually$_POST
data). - New
'save_fields'
metabox property that can be used to disable (by setting'save_fields' => false
) the automatic saving of the fields when the form is submitted. These can be useful when you want to handle the saving of the fields yourself, or want to use submitted data for other purposes like generating new posts, or sending emails, etc.
- Fix commented out text_datetime_timestamp_timezone field registration example in
example-functions.php
. Props cliffordp, (#203). - Fix sidebar styling for money fields and fields with textareas. (#234)
- Fix
CMB2_Sanitize
class to properly use the stripslashed value (which was added in #162 but never used). Props dustyf, (#241).
- Use the more appropriate
add_meta_boxes
hook for hooking in metaboxes to post-edit screen. Thanks @inspiraaz for reporting. (#161) - Add a
row_classes
field param which allows you to add additional classes to the cmb-row wrap. This parameter can take a string, or array, or can take a callback that returns a string or array. The callback will receive$field_args
as the first argument, and the CMB2_Field$field
object as the second argument. Reported/requested in #68. - New constant,
CMB2_LOADED
, which you can use to check if CMB2 is loaded for your plugins/themes with CMB2 dependency. - New hooks,
cmb2_init_before_hookup
andcmb2_after_init
. - New API for adding metaboxes and fields, demonstrated in
example-functions.php
. In keeping with backwards-compatibility, thecmb2_meta_boxes
filter method will still work, but is not recommended. New API includesnew_cmb2_box
helper function to generate a new metabox, and returns a$cmb
object to add new fields (via theCMB2::add_field()
andCMB2::add_group_field()
methods). - New CMB2 method,
CMB2::remove_field()
. - New CMB2_Boxes method,
CMB2_Boxes::remove()
. - When clicking on a file/image in the
file
, orfile_list
type, the media modal will open with that image selected. Props johnsonpaul1014, (#120).

- Now works with option pages and site settings. (view example in wiki)
- two filters to override the setting and getting of options,
cmb_override_option_get_$option_key
andcmb_override_option_save_$option_key
respectively. Handy for using plugins like WP Large Options (also here). - Improved styling on taxonomy (*tease*) and options pages and for new 3.8 admin UI.
- New sanitization class to sanitize data when saved.
- New callback field parameter,
sanitization_cb
, for performing your own sanitization. - new
cmb_Meta_Box_types::esc()
method that handles escaping data for display. - New callback field parameter,
escape_cb
, for performing your own data escaping, as well as a new filter,'cmb_types_esc_'. $field['type']

function. Props @dessibelle, @messenlehner & @jtsternberg. - Added hook
cmb_after_table
after all metabox output. Props @wpsmith file_list
