   Version 2.9.5 of the Sociable plugin adds a "sociableoff" variable (value "false" unless set to "true") to the custom fields every single time a post is edited. It doesn't test to see if the value is already set, it adds it again on every save. If you're doing minor tweaks on a published page and save it over and over again with each change, you can quickly collect 20 or more instances of of this custom field variable. I've tried to contact the plugin author, but I've received no reply.

   Any one know how to fix this.

   (Bah sorry for posting cant delete the post!)

   This plugin definitely sucks... I had to delete old post and make the same one again to be rid off 150 instances of socialbeoff custom fields...

   It is so obvious problem that the shame is on authors not to resolve this issue jet..

   Got it to work correctly after I redefined the sociable_insert_post function:

   function sociable_insert_post($pID) {
   	delete_post_meta($pID, 'sociableoff');
   	update_post_meta($pID, 'sociableoff', ($_POST['sociableoff'] ? 'true' : 'false'));
   }

   It may seem stupid to delete the key prior to updating it but it just wouldn't work otherwise.

   If you go into sociable.php and on line 940, thats the function your needing to change, the fix worked for me.

   Thanks t0mmmmmmmm, good find.

   The trick is to redefine sociable_insert_post(), so look for "function sociable_insert_post" in the source and replace the existing function with the one provided above

    I'm still getting this at the bottom of every edited post on WP 2.7 with Sociable 2.9.12. Any ideas?

    http://www.feedthehabit.com/news/discount-lift-tickets-for-the-utah-avalanche-center/

    See the very bottom... "sociableoff: false"

    It's on every post that I've edited since the upgrade this morning. Ugghhh... how do I remove that?

    Well... after reading the first person's post, it appears that I've had an errant tag in my templates showing the meta data at the bottom of the post:

    <?php the_meta(); ?>

    Commented it out and it's gone now. :-) User error... :-)
