   Hi, I just discovered fields but I am having some difficulties getting them to work. Im trying to just make a field to display some text for testing purposes. Im using this code for the content of the my page but all thats printing out is

   ID, custom, true); ?>

   <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, custom, true); ?>

   Please post the code surrounding where you are placing the above...

   If posting more then 4-5 lines of code, please ensure you use the backticks as stated in the reply box or use a pastebin as found here.

   It's likely a case of misplacing code, from what you've described..

   where are you using this tag? This tag should be used within the look.

   Also, it is incomplete. Refer this:

   Like i said, post the code that surrounds where you are placing it (before and after), so we can see how you are placing the code, ie. where you are putting it...
