   Alright, so the website for my high school journalism program has custom fields for the writer's name and their corresponding job title. Here's the code to display them in posts:

   <?php $writer = get_post_meta($post->ID, writer, true); $jobtitle = get_post_meta($post->ID, jobtitle, true); if ($writer) { ?><?php echo $writer; if ($jobtitle) { ?>, <?php echo $jobtitle; }} ?>

   It comes out to look like this: "Writer, Jobtitle". I'd like for these to be conditional with the word "None" for when the post lacks a writer/jobtitle. How could I achieve this? Thanks in advance.

   Try:
   

   <?php
   $writer = get_post_meta($post->ID, writer, true);
   $jobtitle = get_post_meta($post->ID, jobtitle, true);
   if ($writer) echo $writer;
   else echo 'None';
   if ($jobtitle) echo $jobtitle;
   else echo 'None';
   ?>

   That did the trick. Thank you very much.
