🚀 Initial Production Release

APLS Block Meta Toggle (apls-block-meta-toggle) is a lightweight, non-destructive WordPress utility that adds an Inline Height Toggle button to the Block Editor toolbar.

It minimizes bottom-of-page meta box containers (ACF, Rank Math, Yoast, custom add_meta_box fields) down to a clean 32px bar and lets you expand them into a full-height editing panel with a single click.


✨ Key Features & Enhancements

  • Double Vertical Arrows UI: Features a high-contrast, bold double chevron icon (#apls-block-meta-toggle-btn) with native WordPress React Tooltip integration.
  • Non-Destructive DOM Engine: Operates purely through CSS state classes (.apls-block-meta-expanded-view) without moving DOM elements. Fully preserves ACF repeaters, Select2 dropdowns, color pickers, and virtual JS event listeners.
  • Auto-Uncollapse Panels: Automatically detects and expands hidden inner containers (.edit-post-layout__metaboxes[hidden]) upon maximizing.
  • Strict Namespace & i18n Isolation: Fully namespaced under APLS\BlockMetaToggle, with custom text domain localization (aplsBlockMetaToggleL10n).
  • Clean Standards Validation: 100% compliant with WordPress Plugin Check standards, verified up through WordPress 7.1.
