JavaScript is one of the most popular coding languages around.
You will notice that not only has Justin created an example of just about every type of field possible, but he has also created functions for displaying the fields by homepage, category, post id, etc. Open the testimonial-functions.php file (or whatever you named it as). Next, you will will need to make sure that WordPress finds the new file by adding a require_once statement to your functions.php file. For example, if you wanted to use it to create custom fields for a testimonials page, you might name it testimonial-functions.php. If you already know how you would like to use CMB2, then you may want to go ahead and rename the file to something more appropriate. It can be copied directly into the theme’s root folder, but to keep your project nicely organized, I suggest copying it into a folder such as /lib/ or /includes/. In order to get started, you will need to find the example-functions.php file from the plugin directory and copy it into your theme.
You can read all about the history here at Justin’s site. The good news is that the plugin approval team has agreed to leave it in the repository, so you can continue to download and update it from there. For that reason, I call it a ‘non-plugin’ plugin. To use CMB2 you have to be able to write code and add to your functions.php file. You won’t get an admin page and there isn’t an admin user interface.

As Sternberg once explained, “It’s a developer’s framework for easily building in forms and fields to your themes and plugins.” In fact, when you install CMB2, nothing will happen. See, plugins typically are able to do something right out of the box they have some inherent functionality. However, last February, the good folks over at the WordPress plugin repository recognized that they goofed and approved CMB2 as a plugin when they shouldn’t have. Well, CMB is an acronym for Custom Meta Boxes and per the description on the plugin page, “CMB2 is a meta box, custom fields, and forms library for WordPress that will blow your mind.” It was developed by Justin Sternberg of WebDevStudios and had been in the plugin repository for a little over two years. Since then, CMB2 has become one of my favorite plugins and is used in the majority of my projects.

In my research, I stumbled across a blog post about how to build a store locator using CMB2 and Google Maps. A couple of years ago, I was looking for a way to query posts and show the location where a post was written on a Google Map.
