   Hello,

   I'm using the plugin PHP Code Widget to display a custom field in the sidebar by every page.

   <?php global $wp_query;
   if(is_object($wp_query->queried_object) && $wp_query->queried_object->ID)
   {echo get_post_meta($wp_query->queried_object->ID, 'sidebar', true);}
   ?>

   This returns the value of the key Custom Field called 'sidebar".

   I would like it to return a default echo (for example, "Well, hello!") if no value for this Custom Field key has been entered.

   I've tried a few things but i keep on getting PHP errors.

   Give this a try:

   <?php global $wp_query;
   if(is_object($wp_query->queried_object) && $wp_query->queried_object->ID)
   {
      $sidebar = get_post_meta($wp_query->queried_object->ID, 'sidebar', true);
      echo ($sidebar) ? $sidebar : 'default message';
   }
   ?>
