add_post_meta adding extra record in post_meta.

  • Is it as expected that add_post_meta inserts an duplicate post in post_meta table in the database with a post_id of 0?

    If Not what could be causing this:

    my save_post action calls a function that includes this:

    if (!($saved_data == $submitted_data)){
	if($saved_data == ''){
		add_post_meta($post_id, 'recipe', $submitted_data, true);
	}else{
		update_post_meta($post_id, 'recipe', $submitted_data);
	}
}

    update doesn’t seam to do it?

    Everything works fine apart from the fact that each meta item is added twice ??

    ive searched and noticed it was a bug which was fixed sometime ago, has it reappeared? ??

    hope someone can help, cheers ??

    Same problem, does anybody have a solution? That post_id = 0 in the wp_postmeta table is causing the fileds to show when adding a new post. When the fields are filled in and the post is published, the data isn’t inserted into the db.
