I fixed it. This plugin was in fact the culprit. I was using White Label CMS to hide the Custom Fields menu within Edit Post. When I unhid it, I discovered that hefo_before: 0 hefo_after: 1 had been added as custom fields. At first I couldn’t get them to disappear, even when I deleted and updated a post. In order to resolve this I had to first disable Header Footer, then go back into the post and delete the custom fields. When I reactivated Header Footer the custom field did not return.
Don’t know how or why it happened.
Really strange. Header and footer add a config box on post edit page to let the user to disable the injection on a specific post. But it’s really strange to have the value printed. I’ll try to look at it, but it seems a “dump” of the custom fields.

That would be great thanks… it’s still happening. I keep having to deactivate and reactivate the plugin for each post
Any luck? I’ve been having to disable this plugin every time I make a new post, then deleting the custom fields that are getting auto-populated, then re-enabling the plugin.
Thanks! Angela
Here’s an example – I backdated it so it doesn’t show up on my homepage.

It seems you blog (theme or a plugin) is printing out the extended fields header and footer uses to store per-post configurations.
The fact that they are printed as a list (ul/li) means they are explicitly extracted.
Does that values are part of the post? I think so… I should analyse all plugins you installed or maybe the theme. Some of them may have a “debug” option set, or something.
Can you send me the theme (zipped) at “stefano@satollo.net”? I would start from it to see if there is some code which can cause it. And then we should proceed looking at the installed plugins.
Thanks for replying. No, the values are not apart of the post. They show up in the back end like this: http://goo.gl/CjB6PY
I’ll send a zipped version of the the theme shortly.
Thanks!
The values are there because used by header and footer but they should not displayed anywhere.
It’s correct to have them on the post and probably the header and footer metabox was removed by other plugins.
I’m not sure what to do. I’ve deactivated all the plugins and it’s not a plugin conflict. The problem does however go away when I switch to a native WP theme. Weird thing is that the same theme/plugin combo appears on many sites I run and this is the only one with the problem…
Any ideas Stefano? I don’t know what else to do. I’ve updated WordPress and I’ve updated every plugin. I really don’t want to deactivate your plugin because it’s really useful but manual process to remove the extra code every day is very labor intensive…
I was able to fix the issue, but only by reverting to an older version of the plugin.
