How do I delete a custom field from my product pages?

Category:

To delete a custom field from your product pages, you have a couple of options depending on how the field was originally added.

If the custom field was added using the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin, follow these steps:

  1. Remove the Display Code:
    • Locate the code in your theme files that displays the custom field on the product pages.
    • Delete or comment out the code related to the custom field. This could be something like get_field('my_field') or the_field('my_field') 2.
  1. Use ACF Extended (Optional):
    • If you have ACF Extended installed, you can use its Developer Mode to delete the custom field from all products.
    • Enable Developer Mode and then edit a product, scroll down to the “Custom Fields” metabox, and click “Delete”.
  1. Manually Remove from Database (Not Recommended):
    • As a last resort, if you want to completely remove the custom field data from your database, you can manually delete the post_meta entries associated with the custom field using phpMyAdmin or another database management tool. However, this is generally not recommended unless you are comfortable with managing databases.

If the custom field was added using the WooCommerce Extra Product Options plugin, you can follow these steps to delete it:

  1. Go to the Extra Product Options Page:
    • Navigate to WooCommerce → Extra Product Option → Extra Product Fields in your WordPress admin dashboard.
  1. Select the Fields to Delete:
    • Use checkboxes to select the fields you want to delete.
  1. Remove the Fields:
    • Click on the Remove button from the action bar to delete the selected fields 3.
  1. Confirm the Deletion:
    • Confirm the deletion by clicking the Save changes button.

After deleting the custom field, make sure to test your product pages to ensure the field has been removed successfully.
