   Hello,

   I'm using the following code to pull the value of a custom field:

   <?php
   	$featuredPosts = new WP_Query();
   	$featuredPosts->query('showposts=10&cat=4');
   	while ($featuredPosts->have_posts()) : $featuredPosts->the_post();
   ?>
   
   <li><img src="<?php $image = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'folio-image', TRUE); ?>"  alt="" /></li>
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   But the code returns nothing, the output is as follows:

   <li><img src="" alt=""></li>

   Anyone know what the problem is:

   Note: There is a custom field called 'folio-image' and it has a value.

   if you want to output the image url, you need to use 'echo':

   <li><img src="<?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'folio-image', TRUE); ?>" alt="" /></li>

   in your code, you simply 'loaded' the custom field value into a variable called $image.

   Try:

   <li><img src="<?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'folio-image', TRUE); ?>" alt="" /></li>

   get_post_meta only returns a value, it doesn't echo it. If you still have no luck try changing get_the_ID() for $post->ID.
