 * Hello,
 * I use only the summary card but have noticed that several unused fields get added
   to the Custom Fields sections of my posts. I’m also unable to delete them (I’ve
   tried deleting each blank field but upon “update” the blank fields return.
 * The additional blank fields are:
    cardData2 cardImgSize cardLabel1 cardLabel2
   cardPhotoHeight
 * I understand that this provides flexibility on a per post basis, but in a future
   release I would love the ability to specify that only TwitterCardType and CardImage
   were available at the post level. I use Custom Fields for many things on my site
   and the additional blank fields make it harder for me to administer my site.
 * Please let me know if you have any questions or if my description is not clear.
   And thanks for a great plug-in!

 * That’s not a bad idea, in fact I’m not really satisfied by the amount of postmeta,
   it needs to be optimized, clearly.
 * But in your case, you’re not supposed to see these additional fields unless you
   select another card type in meta box and click on update or save draft.

 * Now that I think about it, I noticed the additional fields after one of the recent
   updates, although I don’t remember which one! It was not the most recent, but
   one of the updates that preceded it. I looked at the changelog and could not 
   remember which one, sorry!

 * No, the issue still exists, I was trying to help identify when it appeared because
   there was a time when the extra fields did not display. I just could not remember
   which update caused the change.

   issue in the other thread.

 * Ok I see. Thanks. The amount of postmeta has to be reduced. I’m to work on it
   for the next update.
