Description (last modified by sabernhardt)

There’s a bug in the Twenty Twenty theme in twentytwenty_get_post_meta. The bug prevents the action hooks twentytwenty_start_of_post_meta_list and twentytwenty_end_of_post_meta_list from displaying additional meta data when the default meta data fields are not populated.

The variable $has_meta must be true for any meta to be displayed. It is set to false initially and is only set to true if one of the default meta are provided. For single-bottom, if no tags are in the post, $has_meta will be false regardless of additional meta attempting to be displayed by the action hooks.

I solved the bug by defining $has_meta as a global inside twentytwenty_get_post_meta. From there, I was able to modify its value to true within my action hook function.

Hope this can be fixed in the published version of the theme so I don’t have to use a hacked version.

I posted on the theme support page and was asked to post a bug in this forum instead. Link to my theme support post: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twentytwenty_end_of_post_meta_list-needs-global-has_meta/

Hi and thanks for the report!

Could you share how you added the global in your site?

I believe I just declared $has_meta as a global here:

<?php
        // If the post meta setting has the value 'empty', it's explicitly empty and the default post meta shouldn't be output.
        if ( $post_meta && ! in_array( 'empty', $post_meta, true ) ) {

                // Make sure we don't output an empty container.
                global $has_meta;
                $has_meta = false;

Then in my function that runs on the twentytwenty_end_of_post_meta_list action, I set it to True like this:

<?php
    $GLOBALS['has_meta'] = true;
