   Good morning everyone,

   I tried to follow some tutorials but some are specified to meta tags etc..

   I just wanted to have a simple custom field ex. IMGURL and be able to add url links inside.

   What I dont know is how to put it inside the template
   

   <img src="$IMGURL">

   something like that...

   Hope someone can help me a bit... Thank you

   I tried this as well:

   <?php $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Image', true); ?>
   
   <img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" alt="" />

   But it showed only empty <img src="">

   You are using that inside a $post loop correct.

   Do echo 'post id: '.$post->ID; to make sure there's something there.

   If necessary, please paste all the code from the template file into a pastebin such as wordpress.pastebin.com, and report the link back here. Maybe someone can spot your problem. Thanks.

   I tried the echo:
   echo 'post id: '.$post->ID;

   and the results were correct actually:

   <img src="post id: 231" alt="" />

   seems like the custom field just doesnt want to show up..?

   Or there is not an "Image" custom field for that post.
