Use custom fields within post content

    How can I post custom field items within the content of a post?

    All I can see in the singlepost.php file is

    <?php the_content(‘Find out more… »’); ?>

    where the content of each post is displayed.

    So far, I’ve managed to manipulate the end of posts and their excerpts using custom fields, but I’d now like to know how I can start inserting custom field data in to the posts themselves.

    Thanks. I’m familiar with custom fields and how to start using them, like I mentioned, but reading that guide hasn’t made it any clearer as to how I can start using key values in the post content itself. As mentioned previously, I can only see that one line echoing ‘the_content’ – everything else in singlepost.php points to areas above or below ‘the_content’, which is why I’m struggling to find a way of manipulating what goes in the post content itself.
