Hi there,
I'm working on a client's site and have spotted an issue where there are hundreds of custom fields, all pre-populated when I try to load the New Post screen.

Any thoughts on what's triggering this? The page is taking about 15 minutes to load right now...
Looks like raw data is being pulled from the wp_options table rather than being parsed. Deactivate all plugins and check to see if this resolves the problem. If it does, activate the plugins one by one - checking the post after each re-activation - until you (hopefully) find the problematic plugin.

Good thought - and just gave that a try - deactivated all 13 plugins, and still got the hundreds of custom field boxes. Same data, too.
I've got a horrible feeling that something's damaged a table. After re-checking the screenshot, it may not be wp_options. Could be wp_postmeta. Might be worth checking the latter table to confirm it.

Hmmm - I'm got 848 values in wp_postmeta with a meta_key of 'delicious'.
139 of them have unique post_id values... the rest all have a post_id of 0
Oh - that sounds very suspicious! Backup the table and remove records with a post_id of 0?

So... I think I'll answer with "sortof".
Removing the records with a meta_key of "delicious" and a post_id of 0 DID remove them from the 'Add Post' page... but the page still takes a few minutes (closer to 5 now) to load, and the custom fields box still appears (with 'delicious' being the only option in the dropdown...
A step forward, at least!

Appears to have worked for me as well.
