    Hi Jordy,

    We just came across a bug in 2.2.7..In wp-category-permalink.php line 36:

    if ( !in_array( 's_permalink', (array) $hidden_columns) ) {

    Should be:
    if ( !in_array( 'scategory_permalink', (array) $hidden_columns) ) {

    The plugin was adding infinite hidden columns to user meta. Not sure if this was on purpose but it was causing our users to get thousands of hidden columns within hours. Hope this helps ??

    Hello Brian,

    It was a bug, thank you for finding it ?? I just pushed an update.

    Have a nice week-end!

    Thanks for this info. Do you guys know if there are any actions that need to be taken to clean up the user meta after the fact, or does the update take care of anything that might have been inadvertently added?

    Julie @Niackery, don’t worry ?? Nothing to update or to do. It was only a temporary issue.

    Thanks Jordy ?? Actually, I’m wondering if this could have been the cause of a problem I’ve been having, described here. Do you think it could be related? I can start a new thread if that would be better…

    Do you think it could be related?

    Ah, that one ?? Maybe… Maybe… I am not really sure what would be the impact. Anyway, maybe try? ?? By the way, are you using WooCommerce or not?

    @jordy: No, I’m not using WooCommerce. What is it that you think I should try?

    @tara: This thread is not mine, and it was resolved due to the original issue being solved. I simply asked the author if this issue might possibly be related to mine, so I would appreciate it if you would reopen my other thread, which is not resolved and should not be closed. I understand that you don’t want duplicate threads, but this thread here deals with an entirely different issue.
