    Hi,
    I would like insert 2 custom fields named “titleline” and “titleline2” in a H1 tag inside a conditional sentence.
    I’ve read the Codex information but I’m not sure how to put the custom field there.

    Here is the code I’m using:

    <?php if (is_home() ) { 

			echo '<h1>
			<span>Text here </span>
			Second line of text here
			</h1>' ;} 

	else {
                        echo '<h1><span>Custom Field HERE</span>
                              Custom field2 HERE</h1>' ;} ?>

    Thank you!

    I know how to do this to show the content, but I can’t figure how to put it inside the H1 tag

    <?php if (is_home() ) { 

			echo '<h1>
			<span>Learn the language. Live the culture. </span>
			Study Abroad with Bridge.
			<div class="clear">&nbsp;</div>
			</h1>' ;} 

		else { echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'titleline1', true); } ?>

    Try to put in the H1 tag like this example:

    $line1 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'titleline1', true);
if($line1 != ''){
echo '<h1>'.$line1.'</h1>';
}

    Thank you, it worked! I’ve adapted tho this:

    <?php if (is_home() ) { 

		echo '<h1>
		<span>Text </span>
		Another Line</h1>' ;} 

else {
	$line1 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'titleline1', true);
	$line2 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'titleline2', true);
		if($line1 != ''){
		echo '<h1><span>'.$line1.'</span>'.$line2.'</h1>';
			} ;} ?>

    Well done. You don’t need the semicolon between the brackets.
    change this: } ;} to this }}
