 * Probably the dumbest question ever (I’ve had a couple beers :), but what exactly
   can this plugin do?
    Allow you to edit/delete posts from the front end?

 * Couple things
 * 1) If you have a form that may have blank data and you don’t want those fields
   to be created after update make the change dskvr suggests above and enclose the
   2 following lines in an if blank check.
 *     ```
       $meta = get_post_meta($this->post['ID'], $field['postCustomFieldName'], true);
   
       		if($meta != '') {
   
               	delete_post_meta($this->post['ID'], $field['postCustomFieldName']);
   
               	add_post_meta($this->post['ID'], $field['postCustomFieldName'], is_array($meta) && count($meta) == 1 ? $meta[0] : $meta, true);
       		}
       ```
   
 * For cleanapple, you have to make sure your link is in the WP loop on your template
   otherwise the_ID will not work – maybe that’s it?

 * Where does this get_post_meta go?
 * ” on the page which displays the post and it does display the expected post –
   BUT custom fields are not initialized. What do I have to do to make this work?
