That is why the field still shows up in the list. Look for version 0.2 today which should delete every instance of a custom field, as expected. * Thread Starter [phattrance](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phattrance/) * (@phattrance) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-delete-custom-fields-doesnt-work/#post-2453958) * from where can i download the 0.2 version? i can only find the 0.1 from wordpress * Plugin Author [Sam Margulies](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gluten/) * (@gluten) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-delete-custom-fields-doesnt-work/#post-2453961) * It takes a while to show up on the plugins site, but you can download it directly from github at [https://github.com/samargulies/delete-custom-fields/zipball/master](https://github.com/samargulies/delete-custom-fields/zipball/master) * Thread Starter [phattrance](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phattrance/) * (@phattrance) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-delete-custom-fields-doesnt-work/#post-2453965) * it didnt work :/ * it took like 2 seconds before it loaded the new page and i still can see the blr_date on the custom field like on this screenshot: [http://i.imgur.com/RSKju.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/RSKju.jpg) * when i go to the “writing post” ill still see this custom field added to all my posts: [http://i.imgur.com/zCR1M.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/zCR1M.jpg) * Thread Starter [phattrance](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phattrance/) * (@phattrance) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-delete-custom-fields-doesnt-work/#post-2453999) * bump, any other idea on how to get rid of that custom field thats being added for some reason to all my posts? * Thread Starter [phattrance](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phattrance/) * (@phattrance) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-delete-custom-fields-doesnt-work/#post-2454010) * *bump* * Still need help with this 🙂 * Thread Starter [phattrance](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phattrance/) * (@phattrance) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-delete-custom-fields-doesnt-work/#post-2454011) * Update: Just updated to 0.3 and im not able to click on the buttons anymore.

Without knowing more about your setup it might be hard to debug. Are these standard posts or are they a custom post type? Are these posts published or do they have another post status? * Thread Starter [phattrance](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phattrance/) * (@phattrance) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-delete-custom-fields-doesnt-work/#post-2454033) * Hi * heres the story behind the custom field that just wont go away (pasted it from another forum post)! * > Does anyone know how to permanently delete CUSTOM FIELDS caused by the broken > link remover plugin?? i had a plugin (broken link remover) back in 2009 and > i deactivated it and then deleted it 2 months later, but its still in the custom > fields section and its STILL ADDING custom fields forms to all my posts.
