"Design is a funny word"

I’m posting this in general “Beaver Builder” questions because I can’t track do the source of this nuisance (might be related to a Beaver Builder add-in, but I’m not sure). What I’ve noticed is that the words “Design is a funny word” get inserted into some pages automagically. This isn’t verbiage that I would ever use, so I know that I’ve never typed it into a site page while creating it. Yet, I’ve seen it appear in the the metadata of some pages.

I’m currently working on a new site and noticed that these words showed up again through no fault of my own. Here’s a snippet of source from one of the offending pages…

<!-- wp:fl-builder/layout -->
	<h2>
				Design is a funny word

				[fl_builder_insert_layout id="198"]			
					ERKUNDEN

I’ve done a search with phpMyAdmin and found this instance buried in the database under wp_postmeta and wp_posts. In wp_postmeta the value is stored under meta_value and shows up like this…

{s:7:"heading";s:22:"Design is a funny word";s:4:"link";s:0:"";s:11:"link_target";

Can anyone help shine some light on this?

Many Thanks!

P.S. Apologies for the formatting… I haven’t used this forum before and am unsure how my code snippets will appear.

It’s painful to discover the answer to your question immediately after posting.

The problem appears to be a bug the Headings Module of Ultimate Addons for Builder Beaver. When the module is freshly inserted into a page the default value for “Heading” is auto-populated with the words “Design is a funny word”. I had changed the content that appeared by selecting the “+” next to the Heading field and choosing the option “Post Title”. While the content that appeared on the published page actually did show the post title, the meta content still somehow contained the nuisance verbiage.

I’ll address this issue to UABB, but thought I’d leave a “hint” behind for anyone else who might come across this same issue.
