# Code showing in entry…

 * Not sure if this should be in install or plugins, but I’ll start here…I just 
   updated to the newest version of Word Press and I suspect one of my old plugins
   isn’t playing well with it or something. After posting my first entry–this appeared
   at the
    bottom. _encloseme: 1 _pingme: 1 _tc_post_encoding: smartypants _tc_post_format:
   textile2
 * Here is a link to the blog: [http://www.loridevoti.com/blog](http://www.loridevoti.com/blog)
   
   Any idea what the culprit is? I had some problems when I updated right after 
   deactivating Textile 2. Gave me an error message and wouldn’t let me access the
   blog or adminstration from the Internet. But I deleted the old Textile 2 and 
   installed the newest version and it seemed to work. Could this be related to 
   that–or do I have a new issue? Thanks in advance!! Lori

 * Have you got a plugin that’s intended to display the contents of custom fields?
   It looks like that’s what’s happening…
 * If you have, try disabling it. If you need to display custom fields, I’ve found
   [Get Custom Fields](http://www.coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/#getcustom) to be a
   good solution, as it only displays the fields you tell it to.

 * This is strange. I did at one time load a plugin to display custom fields–which
   I don’t really need. But since doing the recent WP upgrade I don’t see it in 
   my plugins–and I didn’t delete any plugins when I did the upgrade. And in the
   Write window there is a place to choose a custom field. So, I know it is out 
   there doing something somewhere, but I don’t know where it is.
    Here are the 
   plugins I have: democracy text control Textile 1 (which I deactivated) markdown(
   which I deactivated) no-referer subscribe to comments IR2 Spam hello (deactivated)
   autoshutoff comments
 * Thats it. And here is the other strange thing. If I just post an entry without
   using custom fields all is well, but if I go in and edit the post then hit save–
   the line of code shows up.
    Any more thoughts? Thanks!! Lori

 * Update: tried deactivating Text Control–still happens, the code line is just 
   shorter.

 * Okay, it looks like what is happening is when I save my post information is being
   pulled into the custom fields that shouldn’t be there–like _encloseme:1 _pingme:
   etc.
    I assume somehow during the upgrade something got out of place. Can anyone
   give me advice as to where to look to see how this is happening? Thanks!! Lori

 * Me again. 🙂
    Okay when I remove: <?php the_meta(); ?> from my index page the
   garbage disappears. So, I can move on–but now it is bugging me. Why is it pulling
   this stuff into the meta and is there some way to fix it. Is it something I have
   hosed? I guess I will go the plug in route if I want custom fields–but this should
   work, right? I’m going to experiment on another installation (fresh not an upgrade)
   and see what happens there. I’ll be back…<G> Lori

 * Well, mystery solved somewhat–it isn’t me. Tried inserting <?php the_meta(); ?
   > on the new installation and got the same result–pulls in the garbage.
    Onward!
