    Hi,
    I added some custom fields to the Pages admin. Every time I update a page in one language, the option is also changed for another page in another language which has nothing to do with this option I want to set. How to disable the saving of custom field in other posts then the one I am editing?

    Hi
    Did you disable the “Custom fields” synchronization in Settings > Languages > Settings > Synchronization?

    I don’t want to disable that. I only need to disable it for one or two fields.
    So, I have this:

    function save_meta_box($post_id) {
	if($post_id == THEMAINPOSTID)
	{
		update_post_meta("","");
	}
}
add_action ( 'save_post', 'save_meta_box' );

    And I need to have THEMAINPOSTID substituted by a real function/variable.

    Adding this to functions.php did the trick:

    function unset_important_metadata($metakeys)
{
	$unique_language_keys = array("certain_inputvalue", "another_inputvalue");
	foreach($metakeys as $key => $value)
	{
		if(in_array($value, $unique_language_keys, true))
		{
			unset($metakeys[$key]);
		}
	}
	return $metakeys;
}
add_filter('pll_copy_post_metas', 'unset_important_metadata',1,1);
