# Major Error With Plugin

 * Good Evening,
 * Everytime we edit a product and make any changes, e.g: a price change. Your plugin
   is automatically creating custom fields as soon as the save button is clicked.
   The only way we can remove these custom fields is by deleting these custom fields
   which get created, via the database, but we have to do this everytime we edit
   and save a product. Have tried temporarily deactivating your plugin, and clearing
   the cache, to see if this would help, but the custom fields are still created,
   which is really weird. Not sure if this is just related to your latest update.
   If you could investigate this, it would be really appreciated.
 * The strange thing is everytime we edit and save the product page, more custom
   fields keep getting added.
 * When we then go to view the product page live all the custom fields show on the
   product page.
 * Please see below an example of what was showing on our product page after making
   just a price change (this is appearing on the actual product page that customers
   see, as well as appearing as newly created custom fields within the admin section
   of the edited products page:

 * This is with the WP-Ecommerce plugin.

 * Hi there!
 * We do create some meta fields for the post and its necessary for working of this
   plugin.
 * After debugging, I found some strange code inside WP eCommerce plugin. Why they
   are echoing meta fields name and its value here in frontend.
 * Path \wp-e-commerce\wpsc-components\theme-engine-v1\templates\wpsc-single_product.
   php
 * Line no. 62 to 71. You just comment this code and check.
 * ?>
    <?php if (wpsc_have_custom_meta()) : ?> <div class=”custom_meta”> <?php while(
   wpsc_have_custom_meta() ) : wpsc_the_custom_meta(); ?> <?php if (stripos(wpsc_custom_meta_name(),’
   g:’) !== FALSE) continue; ?> **<?php echo wpsc_custom_meta_name(); ?>: **<?php
   echo wpsc_custom_meta_value(); ?><br /> <?php endwhile; ?> </div><!–close custom_meta–
   > <?php endif; ?> <?php`

 * Hi Sanjeev,
 * Firstly, a big thank you for taking the time to investigate this for us.
 * We have commented out the code from lines 62 to 71, and this has stopped the 
   custom fields from showing on the live product page (the page that customers 
   see) but the custom fields are still getting created and showing on the admin
   side of the edit product page (screenshot attached below).
 * [https://paste.pics/93cba687cd5c88c2c76cffcddd0593fa](https://paste.pics/93cba687cd5c88c2c76cffcddd0593fa)
 * Each time the product page is then further edited and saved again, more of these
   custom fields get added, and increase each time.
 * Screenshot below showing more custom fields being added, after the product is
   edited and saved the second time.

 * Would you have any ideas of what could be causing this?
 * Kind Regards,
 * Andrew

 * Its obvious, If you modify schema output. Custom fields are where you enter manual
   data.

 * Hi Sanjeev,
 * Apologies, if we have missed something really obvious.
 * We aren’t actually entering any manual data in the custom fields, so these shouldn’t
   be filling up all by themselves. The custom field boxes on our product pages 
   are all empty, and the custom fields are getting added by themselves as soon 
   as the update button is clicked on the product page, once there is any update
   done on a product page, e.g: a product price change. Also, if we just edit a 
   product page and click update without making any changes, custom fields are getting
   added by themselves, with each time the update button being clicked around 4 
   more custom fields being added.
 * A screenshot showing our current settings with your plugin for the products (
   no additional properties have been added, just the default settings:
 * [https://paste.pics/a90321ff1244d9d5c4d79cc3394b897a](https://paste.pics/a90321ff1244d9d5c4d79cc3394b897a)
 * A screenshot showing what any one of our product pages currently shows once edited(
   as you can see no new custom fields have been added:
 * [https://paste.pics/7f9aa3ea6ce6084114222b983cb87577](https://paste.pics/7f9aa3ea6ce6084114222b983cb87577)
 * As soon as we click the update button on the top right of the page, 4 new custom
   fields get added automatically by themselves. (screenshot below showing this:
 * [https://paste.pics/b9c4f68c5f2284c6b5bcd1982a5c3b01](https://paste.pics/b9c4f68c5f2284c6b5bcd1982a5c3b01)
 * Again, after another press on the update button, more custom fields get added
   by themselves (another screenshot below showing this):
 * [https://paste.pics/38fee16415da69db0d56faac6cfd647a](https://paste.pics/38fee16415da69db0d56faac6cfd647a)
 * Again, after another click of the update button, more get added still (screenshot
   below showing this):
 * [https://paste.pics/40ddaea10cac7a398043c068ac954810](https://paste.pics/40ddaea10cac7a398043c068ac954810)
 * Just unsure as to why these additonal new custom fields are getting added by 
   themselves, when we aren’t actually entering any manual custom fields ourselves?
 * Again, apologies if we have missed something really obvious.
 * Kind Regards,
 * Andrew
