Hide yarpp_meta post meta display?

Resolved llaughy

Using WP 5.7.1 with plugin version 5.18.2

After a recent update I now find that the following is displaying among my custom post meta:

yarpp_meta: a:1:{s:27:”yarpp_display_for_this_post”;i:1;}

Looking at the page output, there are no CSS IDs associated with this, so I can’t apply a simple CSS display solution.

Any suggestions on how I can easily keep this yarpp_meta info from displaying on my site?

Many thanks!

Hi @llaughy, sorry that’s pretty unsightly. It looks like it’s the same issue as https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-yarpp_meta-post-meta-display/.

What theme are you using?

Hi Michael –

The link you posted is to this topic, which is why it looks the same.

I am using a custom theme.

@llaughy it looks similar to this one?

Just read the response on that topic. Removing the_meta() from my theme is not a practical solution. If the meta key has a leading underscore it is not supposed to display unless called. Does your plugin use an underscore for the meta key?

I just unistalled version 5.18.2 and replaced it with version 15.5.3 and the meta text does not generate for new posts. Do you have a list of the changes made since 15.5.3 somewhere so I can look at the plugin code? Thanks!

Hi @llaughy, ya we neglected to add the underscore on the meta info, which is what’s lead to some themes showing it. We have a fix coming up (like today) that will indicate to themes the meta information is not for public display. So I don’t think you’ll need to read over the plugin code.

I am removing the meta text manually from the database, and I can see that the yarpp_meta meta key in the wp_postmeta table does not have a leading underscore. That will make it automatically appear on posts with templates that use the_meta(). If you reconfigure this to be _yarpp_meta, I think that will fix the issue of it appearing automatically. Please see the “Hidden custom fields” section on this page of the WP plugin handbook: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/metadata/managing-post-metadata/#hidden-custom-fields

Hopefully you will be able to fix this with the next update, but until then I will continue using version 5.15.3. Thanks!

Hi @llaughy, thanks for the help. We’ve release 5.19.0 that indicates the “yarpp_meta” postmeta is protected (we’re using a filter to indicate that which is easier now that the code is released; we may still end up adding the underscore onto the postmeta later).

Please let us know if you still have the problem once you update to 5.19.0

Thanks for the update @mnelson4 – have you test 5.19.0 yet with theme that uses the_meta()?

Hi @llaughy We did. But it would be really great if you could confirm as well.

I just updated to 5.19.0 and published a new post and the meta text is no longer appearing on the published page. Thanks for your work on fixing this issue!
