Duplicate custom meta keys

  • Hi,

    I have set so that I have three custom meta keys in settings to be copied to main blog like this:
    _my_big_image_url
    _my_postviews
    _my_likes

    But for some reason it duplicatestt these always when post is updated. Why is this? When blog is update, on main site it looks like this:
    _my_big_image_url = http:… (url of image)
    _my_big_image_url = (empty)
    _my_postviews = 3831
    _my_postviews = (empty again)
    _my_likes = 84
    _my_likes = (empty)

    In functions.php (child blog) I do this:

    function my_update_blog_meta( $post_id ) {

	// Get number of comments on the post
	$big_image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post_id ), 'big-image' );
	$likes = 3;
	$views = 6;

	// Create meta field 'comments_count' and insert the number of Approved comments into it
	update_post_meta( $post_id, '_my_big_image_url', $big_image[0] );
	update_post_meta( $post_id, '_my_likes', $likes );
	update_post_meta( $post_id, '_my_postviews', $views );

}
add_action( 'save_post', 'my_update_blog_meta' );

    So you can see that when I try to show any data from those fields, it shows empty on main blog. Is this bug?

    Most likely the problem you have is that your save_hook is being run twice. SWT switches blogs to the tags blog and saves the post.

    What you could try is add the following line to the bottom of your hook function

    remove_action( 'save_post', 'my_update_blog_meta' );

    That would prevent it being run a second time when SWT saves the post.
