   Hi, hope this is in the right section.

   I've started using custom fields (www.kidcapricious.com). They're being used as add-ons to posts to provide image/tweet/link etc of the day.

   I use the 'audioplayer' plugin to embed MP3's sometimes, and some days I'd like to append a track to my post. However I'd like it to appear in a custom field.

   Usually, if [audio:xxx.mp3] is included in the main body content it gets processed and replaced with the audioplayer. This doesn't happen within the custom field.

   Any idea how I can make this happen?

   Many thanks!

   C.

   Could look at using something like this:

   <?php
   $custom_field_key='whatever your custom field key is';
   $myshortcode = get_post_meta($post->ID, $custom_field_key, true);
   do_shortcode($myshortcode);
   ?>

   Thanks for the response Michael.

   If you don't mind - I can't get my head round the logic of that.
   Could you explain?

   Assuming we are talking about shortcodes that execute your player:

   assign your custom field key name (here you put your custom field key)

   get the custom field value for that key for that post

   execute the shortcode
