About this product
Admin Columns Pro Meta Box 1.9.0 is the add-on that connects Admin Columns Pro to the custom fields you built with the Meta Box plugin. It is for developers and site managers who keep data such as prices, dates, locations or related posts in Meta Box fields and are tired of opening every post one by one to check or change a value. With it, those fields can sit as columns in the WordPress list tables.
What's in the Admin Columns Pro Meta Box download
Our download is the original Admin Columns Pro Meta Box ZIP for version 1.9.0. It holds only this add-on: Admin Columns Pro itself and the Meta Box plugin are separate products that must already run on your site. This is the stand-alone add-on from the time before the integration moved into the main Admin Columns Pro plugin.
Good to know
The add-on needs Admin Columns Pro 5.7 or newer from the 5.x line, the Meta Box plugin and PHP 5.6.20 or newer. Admin Columns Pro 6 and later ship the Meta Box integration inside the main plugin, and this separate add-on switches itself off there, so it only makes sense on a site that runs a 5.x copy. Columns are set up per screen, so each post type, the users list and each taxonomy get their own set.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the original file?
Yes. Every product on GPLGuide is the developer’s own release, unchanged. The license key comes already activated. If a product does ask for a key, the activation steps appear on its page once you have it.
Is it legal to use a GPL plugin or theme from GPLGuide?
Yes. WordPress plugins and themes are released under the GPL, which lets anyone use, share and change the code. The developer’s support desk and the developer’s own update service are not part of the file; those stay with the developer.
How do I install it?
Log in, open the product page and click Download under Your downloads. For a plugin go to Plugins, Add New Plugin, Upload Plugin, choose the ZIP, then Install Now and Activate. For a theme go to Appearance, Themes, Add New Theme, Upload Theme.
How do updates work?
When a newer version is listed on GPLGuide, download it from the product page and upload it over the installed copy; WordPress offers to replace the old version. Updates are manual.
Can I use it on more than one site?
Yes. The GPL lets you use it on as many of your own sites as you like.
What if the file does not work or a newer version is out?
Tell us on the Request Item page or through Support. We check the file and add the newer version when we have it.
