Images w/ Custom Fields Outside Loop

    I’m looking to create a “Features” image carousel that pulls a custom field value from a post and echo it into a HTML img tag.

    There will be three featured images, each with a url to the image in a custom field. I’ve tried using the following code but wasn’t sure how to use it when I’ll be using random post IDs.

    <?php
global $wp_query;
$postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
echo get_post_meta($postid, 'customField', true);
?>

    what about using something like a customised jcarousellite to handle the images and html, pull the images in for display via custom field and change the loop for a random selection of articles, by category or similar.
    🙂

    That could work.

    I’ll look into that plugin. Thanks!

    I’m having an issue using two Loops.

    When I try and retrieve a custom field without using a second loop nothing comes up.
