Template helpers

Use functions such as massoftind_fb_get(), massoftind_fb_update(), massoftind_fb_have_rows(), massoftind_fb_image(), and massoftind_fb_the_gallery() in theme templates. See the in-plugin documentation for full examples.

Third-party services

When a YouTube field is used, the admin and front end may load thumbnails or embeds from YouTube (googlevideo.com / i.ytimg.com). Those requests go to Google/YouTube only when such media is configured. Review YouTube Terms of Service if you publish that content.

SVG file uploads are disabled by default. Sites that need SVG media can enable them with the massoftind_fb_allow_svg_uploads filter.

Optional integration

Works alongside Dynamic Content Builder for front-end listings driven by custom fields. Compatible with qTranslate-X / qTranslate-XT, WPML, and WPML Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce. No other plugins are required.

FAQ

Do I need another custom fields plugin?: No. Massoftind Field Builder is a standalone field builder with its own metabox UI, repeaters, and template helpers.
Can I try it before installing?: Yes. Open the WordPress Playground live demo.
Where are field values stored?: As prefixed post meta on the content object. Field-group definitions are stored as an internal custom post type.
Can I move field groups between sites?: Yes. Use Tools Export and Import to transfer JSON field-group definitions.
Is there a REST API?: Yes, optional. Enable it under Field Builders Settings. Endpoints require authenticated users with appropriate capabilities.
Does this phone home?: No. The plugin does not send your site data to Massoftind.
Does it work with qTranslate-X?: Yes. With qTranslate-X or qTranslate-XT active, text-like fields (text, textarea, WYSIWYG, email, URL, shortcode, code editor, link title) use Language Switching Buttons in the editor. Template helpers such as massoftind_fb_get() return the value for the current language on the front end. Values are stored with qTranslate [:lang] tags.
Does it work with WPML / WooCommerce Multilingual?: Yes. With WPML active, Field Builder registers its custom fields for translation or copy/sync, marks Field Builder post types/taxonomies as translatable, and exposes Site Section option values to String Translation. With WPML Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce, translatable fields appear in the WCML product translation UI and values sync when products are duplicated across languages. Override defaults under WPML Settings Custom Fields Translation.

Changelog

1.9.19

Improved: Removed third-party product branding from public docs/changelogs and renamed internal import helpers to portable/legacy wording (import + meta compatibility unchanged).

1.9.17

New: Content Order — drag-reorder posts/CPTs and taxonomy terms from Field Builders Content Order (menu_order / term meta; no separate ordering plugin).

1.9.16

New: Settings General Classic Editor toggle — use TinyMCE instead of the block editor without a separate Classic Editor plugin.

1.9.15

Fix: List View column drag-and-drop (Title / Author / Date / Featured Image reorder) — handle was a button blocked by jQuery UI Sortable.
Fix: Status filter on non-order post types (e.g. Home Banner) no longer lists WooCommerce / unrelated plugin statuses.

1.9.14

Fix: Force Featured Image metabox for Field Builder CPTs (Home Banner) when theme/plugins prevent core from adding it — appears in Screen Options again.

1.9.13

Fix: Featured Image metabox for imported CPTs (e.g. Home Banner) when the theme limits post-thumbnails.
Fix: WPML empty CPT lists (e.g. FAQ “No faq found” while All count is > 0) by syncing CPT translation settings and assigning default language to orphan posts.
Fix: Native “Custom Fields” metabox is hidden by default in Screen Options.
Improved: WooCommerce core post types are reserved; WPML + WooCommerce Multilingual field sync kept.

1.9.12

Fix: WYSIWYG Content fields now run shortcodes (e.g. [product_categories …]) like WordPress post content.

1.9.11

Fix: Nested repeater / group have_rows() now works with nested if ( have_rows() ) { while ( have_rows() ) } loops under a repeater.
Fix: Taxonomy fields with portable field_type=multi_select return term ID arrays correctly when multiple is 0.
Fix: get_field( '…', 'product_cat_123' ) / term selectors read term meta (legacy + Massoftind keys).
Fix: Relationship return_format (object vs id) honored for template compatibility.

1.9.10

Fix: Saving Post Types / Taxonomies / List Views / Site Sections no longer triggers “headers already sent”.
Fix: Empty portable menu_position imports as default 25 (exports often use "" when unset).

1.9.9

Fix: Portable JSON import now creates Post Types, Taxonomies, and Site Sections (options pages) from mixed exports — not only field groups.

1.9.8

Improved: Field Groups bulk actions dropdown, Apply button, and row checkboxes match the dashboard UI.

1.9.7

Fix: Layout Blocks “Add Section” button was clipped by icon-button width (34px); labeled button now uses auto width.

Fix: Layout Blocks “Add Section” no longer shows a duplicate dark tooltip over the blue button.

1.9.5

Compatibility: Gallery return format defaults to Image Array (ID, url, …) for existing theme loops.

1.9.3

Fix: Layout Blocks rebuild from portable flexible meta that stores an ordered list of layout slugs.
Fix: Gallery falls through to unprefixed meta when stored attachment IDs are missing.

1.9.2

Fix: Gallery and Layout Blocks fall through to legacy/unprefixed meta when Massoftind storage holds a non-usable value (e.g. flexible row count instead of rows).
Fix: Legacy row rebuild keeps leaf meta keys with underscores (section_heading, layout row keys).
New: Field Groups list — select all / bulk delete.

1.9.1

Fix: Remap imported conditional logic from field keys to field names so dependent fields show correctly.
Fix: After-title field groups (Banner Video / Banner Text) render on the edit screen.
Fix: Stop empty one-tab-per-field UI when tab markers were skipped on import; Gallery and Layout Blocks show again.
Fix: Gallery attachment ID parsing for portable array-shaped values.

1.9.0

New: Message field (instructional text in the editor; no stored value).
New: Date & Time field (datetime) with import mapping from portable JSON.
New: Programmatic write helpers — massoftind_fb_update(), massoftind_fb_add_row(), massoftind_fb_delete_row() (optional template-compat aliases when enabled).
Improved: Location rules — post status, post format, post taxonomy, attachment, user form, comment.
Improved: JSON import fidelity for clone, password, message, and date-time types; editor-only tab markers are skipped (group tab placement still detected).
Compatibility: WPML translate list includes message fields; branding/docs avoid third-party trademarks.

1.8.1

New: WPML compatibility — register Field Builder meta for translate/copy, CPT/taxonomy translate flags, Site Section admin texts.
New: WooCommerce Multilingual (WCML) support — product translation fields + meta sync on duplicate.
New: List Views (admin list-table columns) and related admin polish.

New: Layout Blocks field — add ordered content sections, each using a named layout with its own sub-fields.
Import: portable flexible_content JSON Layout Blocks (layouts preserved).
Theme helpers: massoftind_fb_get_layout() and get_row_layout() (when template compatibility is enabled).
Legacy meta: read flexible-style layout row keys into Layout Blocks values.

1.5.0

Migration helpers: Settings toggles for template compatibility and legacy meta read fallback.
Legacy meta: read unprefixed field names and repeater row keys when Massoftind meta is empty; Tools page can copy values into Massoftind storage.
Site Sections: read/migrate options_* (and custom roots); helpers with ‘option’ supported.
Import: location rule normalization (template path typos, options_page), more type mappings, relationship post_types.

1.4.0

Optional theme helper aliases when not already defined (get_field, have_rows, get_sub_field, the_row, …).
Nested repeater loops (have_rows inside have_rows) for common theme templates.
Image return format “array” returns keys (ID, url, alt) with back-compat numeric indexes.

1.3.61

Fix: Text / Textarea always keep safe HTML tags (span, strong, em, i, b, u, br, a) on Update — no toggle required.

1.3.60

Text / Textarea: Allow basic HTML setting + massoftind_fb_kses_basic_html() helper.

1.3.59

Promo: WordPress Playground blueprint for one-click live demo.
Admin: dashboard onboarding checklist (first field group in minutes).
Admin: optional dismissible review nudge after a field group exists.

1.3.58

Fix: qTranslate-X compatibility — read raw Field Builder meta then translate strings so repeater have_rows()/sub_field() work on the front end.

1.3.57

Fix: lock main page ID before get_header so repeater helpers read the correct post meta.
Fix: empty key-based meta arrays no longer block fallback to name-based stored values.

1.3.56

Fix: template helpers prefer the queried page ID on singular views so values still load after get_header() / secondary loops.

1.3.55

Fix: have_rows() on Group fields no longer drops text sub-fields (badge/heading empty while loop still ran).

1.3.54

Fix: nested Sub Fields drag-and-drop blocked by sortable cancel matching parent inline config panels.

1.3.53

UI: remove help “i” icons next to Label / Name and other setting labels.

1.3.52

Fix: builder tooltips clipped by overflow — Delete/Drag tips now show.
Fix: drag-reorder for deeply nested Sub Fields (Repeater Group Repeater fields).

1.3.51

Fix: text domain aligned to plugin slug massoftind-field-builder.
Security: sanitize posted field trees and AJAX JSON payloads before use.
Fix: remove standalone wp_enqueue_script(wplink); load via script dependencies (core handle).

1.3.50

Fix: SVG image/gallery admin preview blank after save (inlined SVG was stripped by wp_kses_post; use img preview instead).

1.3.49

Fix: harden sanitize for checkbox, image, file, gallery, relationship, range, video, and YouTube against array POST / “Array” corruption.
Fix: re-sync qTranslate hooks after AJAX-added repeater, accordion, and tabs rows.

1.3.48

Fix: repeater delete + qTranslate — rebind hidden language field names after reindex so removed rows stay removed.
Fix: scalar fields no longer save PHP “(string) array” as the literal text “Array”.
Fix: drop empty/corrupt repeater rows (junk nested rows created by stale multilingual POST data).

1.3.47

Plugin Check: echo SVG/video HTML via wp_kses() directly (custom kses wrappers are not recognized by PHPCS).

1.3.46

Security: tighten REST permission callbacks (manage_options for field groups; edit_post for per-post field values).
I18n: text domain aligned to WordPress.org slug massoftind-field-builder.
Security: late-escape admin/field output (attributes, SVG, shortcodes, media previews) via esc_attr / wp_kses / wp_kses_post.
Prefixing: remove generic DFB_* global constants; keep massoftind_fb / MASSOFTIND_FB prefixes.

1.3.45

Fix: when two field groups use the same field name, helpers pick the field that has stored values (not the empty duplicate).

1.3.44

Native qTranslate-X / qTranslate-XT support: admin Language Switching Buttons and front-end language decode for template helpers.

1.3.43

Rebranded to Massoftind Field Builder (slug, text domain, namespace, prefixes).

1.3.42

1.3.41

Plugin Check fixes: translators comments, local asset loading (no CDN), wp_enqueue_style for details modal.

WordPress.org packaging: readme.txt, license.txt, Plugin Check cleanup, author/branding alignment.

1.3.39

Developer Panel: Full Template Example for Repeaters/Groups includes Conditional Logic as PHP if checks.
