#9177: Remove meta_value from selected fields
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: filosofo | Owner: anonymous
Type: defect (bug) | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 2.8
Component: General | Version:
Severity: normal | Keywords: has-patch query meta_value meta_key
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
[8922], the fix for #7431, introduced an unnecessary line that adds
wp_postmeta.meta_value to the list of selected fields.
Talking to !AaronCampbell, the author of the above patch, in IRC confirmed
my hunch that it was unintentional.
If you're querying by meta_value, then you already know the meta_value
value. If you're querying by just meta_key, then you will (in theory) not
get back all meta_values because there will be only one entry per post
(see #9167). So meta_value is either unnecessary or unreliable as Loop
query data.
