So you want my plugin to go through all the posts it might have handled and delete all its custom meta?
I guess it could but it could take quite some time on a very busy site. All the wordbooker post_meta fields are prefixed with _ so they shouldn’t show – and in fact I don’t see them in the Custom Fields area in my blog. Have you got a plugin or a theme modification that is unhiding hidden custom fields?

No, of course not. You don’t need to reduce the ticket to absurd. It is sufficient that after the plug-in is uninstalled parts of it does not show in new post interface.
I am already done with the plugin; I opened the ticket as heads-up. Do what you like with it.

As I said Wordbooker uses hidden custom fields – and has for a long time, and has code in it to move unhidden custom fields to hidden ones, so either this is a very old post that wordbooker hasn’t tidied up, or you’ve got a plugin which is revealing hidden fields.
Those fields are created by Wordbooker when a post is processed – so they can’t appear on new posts once the plugin has been removed….

Wordbooker uses post meta with a leading _ character which means they do not appear in the drop down of available fields. The non _ versions were removed a long time ago.
As the fields are created by wordbooker (using the update_post_meta call) when the post is created then no they cannot appear on new posts that are created once the plugin has been uninstalled.
Even with Wordbooker installed I see this when I go to the custom field part of the Add Post screen:

What other plugins have you got installed? Anything related to custom fields?
