Custom wp_queries being broken in 4.8.3

[stefk]

Support has been dropped in Wordpress 4.8.3 for custom meta keys that make use of the LIKE element.

Custom wp_queries being broken when using meta_query combined with the repeater format of for custom fields. They ended up returning 0 results.

For example below stopped working:

$meta_query_1[0] = array(

array(

'key' => 'price_section_%_departure_date',
'compare' => '>',
'value' => 0,
'type' => 'NUMERIC'

)

);
