    In one CPT I have:

    * A Custom Field: Description, that is blank for the option Show in extra output location. When I add a listing however, the description shows in the Details Page Sidebar. Custom Fields, Categories, and Tags have the same thing. Blank for the option Show in extra output location, but in the listing, it shows in the Details Page Sidebar.

    * A Custom Field: Special Offers. When I add a listing and fill out the text field, the Special Offer shows the text Special Offer in the Details Page Sidebar, but it does not show the text that I added in the listing.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Hello,

    we have fixed a similar bug that will be in the next release.

    We can take a look at your site to find out if it is the same issue or something else.

    Please make sure you have licensed and updated all your GD plugins and addons.

    Then write back with a private reply and include WP Admin and FTP so we can debug the issue.

    Thanks

    Hello Kiran,

    OK now you scared me 😉 I am working on building a WP site for the first time in years, so this comment has got me bamboozled.

    Are there instructions for how to go about this? I will try anything once, but here I need some help.

    I have run into a new issue though that a field that is not required, does show in the sidebar while left blank. Will the patch help with that too?

    And when will the new release be?

    Thanks for your help 🙂

    Although I would love to learn how to patch, I will leave it for now. I will wait for the next release. Not finished anyway. Just will add it to my list of issues to watch.

    Thanks Alex 🙂

    Gentlemen,

    Just to make sure that this is the same issue or that I need to set up a different post….

    I have run into a new issue though that a field that is not required, does show in the sidebar while left blank. Will the patch help with that too?

    To elaborate. I have two custom fields with price in one CPT. One is price in $ other is in €. They are both not required. With a new listing I have filled out a price in Euro, and left the Dollar one blank. When I update the listing, 0.00 is automatically added to the Dollar Price Custom Field. As a result, it shows a price of zero dollars in the Details page Sidebar. Same issue as the one I started out with, or new one?

    If you don’t want the zero to show then use a text field with the setting for CHARACTER instead of number. Different issue.

    Alex, thanks.

    But if it is a text can it be searched for, or sorted on? I would not think so.

    I think that if a field is blank, it should not be populated automatically.

    It is not blank, the default value is 0
