Wp_usermeta table cluttered with “ecs_instalation” keys

  • Hello,

    I’ve recently noticed that our wp_usermeta table is filled with entries of the following form:

    ‘{“umeta_id”:”264186″,”user_id”:”1229″,”meta_key”:”ecs_instalation”,”meta_value”:”1645654611″}’

    Specifically, some of our users have HUNDREDS of “ecs_instalation” keys with slightly different meta_values. And I’m not 100% certain, but this may be at the root of a site-breaking issue some of our users are experiencing with PHP 8.0. Recently we upgraded our site to use PHP 8.0, and the layout was completely broken for a subset of our users. It seems that these are the same users that have all of the “ecs_instalation” meta keys.

    Any idea what could be causing all of these keys to be added to the meta table, and how that might break the site when it’s on PHP 8.0?

    I’ve done some further testing, and I’ve discovered that disabling Ele Custom Skin fixes the site (on PHP 8.0) for these users. So it seems highly likely that these junk meta keys are breaking the site for certain users.
