Hi there,

Very strange, it seems Give is manipulating the data from the database and returning it as a string instead of an array. I’ll have to get in touch with them to see the reasoning.

For now, add this function to get around it:

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'tu_remove_metaboxes_from_give' );
function tu_remove_metaboxes_from_give() {
    if ( 'give_forms' == get_post_type() ) {
        remove_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'generate_register_layout_meta_box' );
        remove_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'add_generate_page_header_meta_box', 50 );
    }
}

I donwloaded the child theme and added the above code to the functions.php of the child theme and yes it’s working. If you need more info, I would be happy to give you what info you might need to work with them. Thank you

I just made an adjustment to the code so it only applies to Give.

We’ll also harden our code a little to prevent issues like this in the future 🙂
