   right now i have two custom values, one for Author information and one for a Surtitle. The author part is working fine, and is showing up on the page with this code:

   <?php
$custom = get_post_custom_values('Author');
if (count($custom) != 0)
{
// do your thing
echo $custom[0];
// maybe do more things
} ?>

   but I can't get it to display another custom value, even though I think I'm changing all the right variables. could anyone give me some help in displaying 2 different custom values on one page?

   Are you trying to echo more things in the $custom array?

   If so:

   echo $custom[0];
echo $custom[1];
// etc

   Also, are you sure it's a numbered array, and not an associative array? I.e.:

   echo $custom['Author'];
echo $custom['Other_detail'];
// etc

   Try either $custom[1] or $custom['surtitle'].

   Also have you checked out this:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Custom_Fields

   Try:

   echo get_post_custom_values('Author');
echo get_post_custom_values('surtitle');

   now it's displaying something at least, but it's just displaying the word "Array"

   Maybe underneath

   // maybe do more things

   try

   print_r($custom)

   to see what's getting put in there.
