  I got this field:
```
piklist('field',array(
    'type'=>'hidden',
    'field'=>'latLng'

));
```
  And I can access this value from front but in the admin side the field gives me an error:
```
<input type="hidden" id="_post_meta_latLng_0" name="_post_meta[latLng]" value="
Notice: Array to string conversion in [...]/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 959
Array" class="_post_meta_latLng piklist-field-element" data-piklist-field-addmore-clear="0">
```
  I checked DB and the values in tables are correct. Exemple value saved in DB:
  53.45258580956264,14.464406390869158

  After changing to:
```
piklist('field',array(
    'type'=>'text',
    'field'=>'latLng'

));
```
  everything works fine.

  @ndbe– I was able to reproduce the error. We’ll fix in the next version of Piklist
  
  Also, you need to pass a value to a hidden field:
```
piklist('field',array(
    'type'=>'hidden',
    'field'=>'latLng',
    'value' => 'hello'

));
```

  This will be fixed in Piklist v0.9.9.7

  Update in 0.9.9.7 fixed nothing. Whenever I save anything into a hidden field I get “Array” in its value.

  You’re passing a value and just getting an empty array?

  Take a look at the vid > https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16604210/Hidden-saved-as-array.wmv
  
  By positioning the marker on the map the value of the hidden field changes. When I save the page, the value in this field is “Array”.

  Can you post your field code? Is 'add_more' => true set?

  Add more is not set. The field code is
```
piklist('field',array(
     'type' => 'hidden'
    ,'field' => $prefix . 'latLang'
    ,'value' => '53.010272, 18.605023'
	,'attributes' => array(
		'maxlength' => 50
	)
	,'validate' => array(
		array(
			'type' => 'limit'
			,'options' => array(
				'max' => 50
			)
		)
	)
));
```

  Oh, I forgot to mention that I tried removing “attributes” and “validate”, but the effect was exactly the same.

  Hi. I’m just wondering if you’ve successfully diagnozed the problem or were able to reproduce the error. I may just add that just like in @ndbe’s case after switching field type to “text” everything started working.

  @kplaneta– This is on our bug list and will be squashed in the next version of Piklist.

  @tonnykeuken– This is fixed in the next major version.
  
  Posting your fix here for other:
  
  In the “piklist” plugin folder go to: plugins/piklist/parts/fields/hidden.php, and change the line (6):
  from: value=””
  to: value=”

  Hi Steve.
  When I download the latest version of Piklist v0.9.9.9 I see that the hidden field value is still not fixed.
  It still returns:
  value="<?php echo esc_attr($value); ?>"
  and not
  value="<?php echo is_array($value) ? esc_attr(end($value)) : esc_attr($value); ?>"
  
  Should it not do that or do a have a reason for not implementing this after all?

  Oh, it just occurred to me that maybe you wrote this, when it was on version v0.9.9.9. If so, then I will edit the file myself and look forward to the next major release. 😉
