Inline featured image custom field
11 replies · Started by Philip on August 26, 2021
Hi Guys,
Under Preferences in the right sidebar settings of the block editor, I activated the WordPress Custom Fields panel. I noticed a field with the name "inline_featured_image" with a value of "0."
I thought it might be related to GeneratePress or GenerateBlocks. If so, do you know what it does?
Thanks.
Host: WP Engine
PHP 7.4.18
WordPress 5.8
GeneratePress 3.0.4 with default GP child theme 0.1
GenerateBlocks 1.3.5
GP Premium 2.0.3
Hi there,
Are you referring to this area?

If so no the theme doesn't add any custom fields by default.
Let me know if I'm missing something here.
Yep. That's the spot. Sorry, I could have been more helpful.
Screen shot here:
The "page_class" field was added by me. It's the "inline_featured_image" field I was curious about.
If not GeneratePress or Blocks, maybe The SEO Framework plugin?
I'm not sure.
Have you tried disabling all plugins then reactivate them one by one?
Yes. I disabled all plugins, the field is still there.
However, I'm not sure disabling -- or even deleting a plugin -- would remove these entries from the database.
Hi there,
Do you have a child theme? Perhaps those fields are being added through a PHP snippet. It's worth checking. :)
I'm using the default barebones GeneratePress child theme. A couple harmless filters and a bit of CSS.
You can try removing it w/ a plugin. - https://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-custom-fields/
See this article - https://itsiti.com/remove-unused-wordpress-custom-fields/
I'd rather not remove data that may be in use somewhere.
I've checked four other sites -- none with GeneratePress or GenerateBlocks -- and none of them have the inline_featured_image custom field.
So, I thought it might be related to GeneratePress somehow.
We've never had another mention of this so I am still guessing it's something specific to that install you have.
Can you test by starting a clean GP install?
OK. I think I've got this sorted.
Instead of disabling plugins -- which won't remove the custom field data -- I started from a clean slate and added plugins until the field appeared.
The "SVG Support" plugin adds that custom field. The developer explained that the setting, when enabled, will render a featured SVG image inline.
Sorry for the trouble. Thanks for your patience.
Phil
No problem :)
