## What it is
A WordPress plugin/library for easily creating admin metaboxes with custom fields. It is no longer supported or developed; all future work continues in its successor, CMB2.

## Use cases
- add custom fields to WordPress posts and pages
- create metaboxes in the WordPress admin
- build custom admin forms for a WordPress theme or plugin
- manage repeatable custom field groups in WordPress
- extend WordPress content types with extra metadata

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy WordPress project already built on this library
- referencing historical code that depends on CMB v1

## When to avoid
- starting any new WordPress project (use CMB2 instead)
- you need support, updates, or security fixes
- you want modern WordPress custom field tooling like ACF or CMB2

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, form-handling, developer-tools
- domain: cms, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: self-hosted, php
- tags: wordpress, metaboxes, custom-fields, cmb, legacy, deprecated, web-server
