Installation

Three ways to install OneMeta — upload ZIP, clone via Git, or install from WordPress.org.

Last updated: July 4, 2026

OneMeta can be installed in three ways depending on your setup and preference.

Option 1 — Upload ZIP (Recommended)

This is the easiest method for most users.

Step 1 — Download the latest release ZIP:

Download from WordPress.org

Step 2 — In your WordPress admin go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin

Step 3 — Click Choose File, select onemeta.zip, then click Install Now

Step 4 — Click Activate Plugin

OneMeta will appear in your WordPress admin sidebar under OneMeta.

Option 2 — Clone via Git

For developers who prefer working directly with the source:

cd wp-content/plugins
git clone https://github.com/fronttheme/onemeta.git

Then go to Plugins in your WordPress admin and activate OneMeta.

Note: The GitHub repository includes pre-built compiled assets in the dist/ folder, so no build step is required to run the plugin after cloning.

Option 3 — WordPress.org

Search OneMeta in Plugins → Add New, or install directly:

Go to Plugins → Add New
Search for OneMeta
Click Install Now then Activate

View on WordPress.org →

Via TGM Plugin Activation (ThemeForest Themes)

If you are a theme developer using TGM Plugin Activation, you can register OneMeta as a required plugin pointing to the GitHub release:

$plugins = [
    [
        'name'     => 'OneMeta - Custom Meta Fields',
        'slug'     => 'onemeta',
        'required' => true,
    ],
];

OneMeta is available on WordPress.org. The slug key is all you need — TGM fetches it from the plugin directory automatically.

Verify Installation

After activating, you should see OneMeta in your WordPress admin sidebar with the following menu items:

Field Groups — your main dashboard
Add New — create a new field group
Documentation — built-in field reference
About — version and system info
