   Good day!

   I am trying to insert hidden custom fields through XML RPC. The code works when the custom field is not hidden (without "_"), however, when I start placing an underscore (_) the value cannot be read.

   Can you help me on this?

   The code that I am using is:

   function wpPostXMLRPC($title,$body,$rpcurl,$username,$password,$category,$keywords='',$encoding='UTF-8') {
       $title = htmlentities($title,ENT_NOQUOTES,$encoding);
       $keywords = htmlentities($keywords,ENT_NOQUOTES,$encoding);
       $content = array(
           'title'=>$title,
           'description'=>$body,
           'mt_allow_comments'=>1,  // 1 to allow comments
           'mt_allow_pings'=>1,  // 1 to allow trackbacks
           'post_type'=>'post',
           'mt_keywords'=>$keywords,
   		/*'_aioseop_keywords'=>"keyword",
   		'aioseop_title'=>"title",
   		'_aioseop_title'=>"title",
   		'_aioseop_description'=>"description",*/
   		"custom_fields" => array(
   array( 'key' => 'try', 'value' => 'these are keywords' ),
   array( 'key' => '_test', 'value' => 'this is the title' )
   		),
           'categories'=>array($category)
       );
       $params = array(0,$username,$password,$content,true);
       $request = xmlrpc_encode_request('metaWeblog.newPost',$params);
       $ch = curl_init();
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $rpcurl);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1);
       $results = curl_exec($ch);
       curl_close($ch);
       return $results;
   }

   You can find out more about the issue here http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17850

   You need to use the register_meta() method to register "protected" meta - fields starting with an _

   The following sample code can help get you started.
   

   class MyClass{
   function __construct(){
   add_action(‘init’, array($this,’_register_meta’));
   }
   function _meta_sanitize_cb ( $meta_value, $meta_key, $meta_type ) {
   return $meta_value;
   }
   function _meta_yes_you_can( $can, $key, $post_id, $user_id, $cap, $caps ) {
   return true;
   }
   function _register_meta(){
   register_meta( ‘post’, ‘_my_field’, array($this,’_meta_sanitize_cb’), array($this,’_meta_yes_you_can’));
   }
   }

   By the way that code block I posted should be in a plugin or somewhere on the WP side - it won't work from your XMLRPC client
