   I've got a number of image URLs in custom fields on pages - I want to be able to display them in image tags.

   I'm using this:
   

   <img alt="sunset" src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post_id->ID, 'bottom', true) ?>" height="150" width="450" border="0" />

   The result is an empty SRC tag:
   

   <img alt="sunset" src="" height="150" width="450" border="0">

   The custom field IS in fact returning the URL, but for some reason; it is not displaying. I used exit/var_dump to verify this.

   My functions file is empty, do I need any function code to allow custom fields? or to change any wordpress settings?
   How can I fix this?

   thanks,

   try:

   <img alt="sunset" src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'bottom', true) ?>" height="150" width="450" border="0" />

   Hi alchmyth,
   The code you posted is in fact what I have written in the file, yet there are no results.

   any ideas?

   the code that I posted is different from the code you posted - that is the only thing I can see;
   right $post->ID vs. wrong $post_id->ID

   please paste the full code of the template into a http://pastebin.com/ and post the link to it here.

   [edit: I've solved it] thanks!

   For Future reference, the problem was as alch rightfully pointed out. $post instead of $post_id; also, one should use '' instead of "".

   thanks again!
