Deleting all post meta on import

Certainly I can send the whole file, however that is all the content within the actual CSV file. A CSV with exactly that content and nothing else is deleting all meta data for those posts. There were more lines in my csv but I removed them as I was inadvertently deleting a lot of metadata and I have to restore my database after every test. Luckily I have a backup.

How can I send the file to you? I cannot see a way to attach a file on here or to message you privately?

Can I email you?

Thanks,

Ok after a thorough investigation I have tracked this issue down to a clash with another plugin. The one which is responsible for the custom post type “hut”. I cannot simply disable this plugin to import my csv as then the custom post type “hut” does not exist.

We have a function which resembles this:

add_action("wp_insert_post", array(&$this, "wp_insert_post"), 10, 2);

function wp_insert_post($post_id, $post = null) {

    if ($post->post_type == "hut") {

      foreach ($this->meta_fields as $key) {

        $value = @$_POST[$key];

        if (empty($value)) {

         //Below is the troublesome line which deletes all post meta.
         delete_post_meta($post_id, $key);

          continue;

        }

        //More code here that is not relevant.
     }
}

This function is clearly being executed when the CSV import is being performed and consequently it is deleting all the post meta.

I don’t want to edit your plugin code so do you have any ideas how I could change the above code so that it is not activated when your csv plugin runs?

Thank you very much,
