 * Hello,
 * Using WP 3.8.3, Twenty Thirteen Theme, I would like to delete post metadata.
 * I found this page: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/delete_post_meta](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/delete_post_meta)
 * Now, where do I insert <?php delete_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key, $meta_value);?
   >
 * I am a complete layperson when it comes to coding, so help greatly appreciated.
   Many thanks in advance!

 * Why are you using an old copy of WordPress? Were you aware that your site is 
   currently running a very real risk of being hacked? You need to upgrade WordPress
   asap.

 * OK, will do, but I am surprised: I have only just set up this website!
    Thanks
