   I've been using '<?php the_meta(); ?>'
   for about 2 days and it just started glitching out on me.

   This is what's appearing now instead of my actual meta data.

   dsq_thread_id: 361800013
   producer: Cardiak

   "Producer: Cardiak" is the only thing that should be showing

   Any ideas?

   On another post it was pulling

   enclosure: http://www.selecterz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Curreny-Run-Dat-Shit-Prod.-by-Monsta-Beatz.mp3 5351164 audio/mpeg
       producer: Monsta Beatz
       dsq_thread_id: 360285713

   Which it should only be pulling "Producer: Monsta Beatz"

   That particular post had an audio file embedded using Audio Player.

   That's because you are telling it to call all the meta associated w/ the post. You need to use

   get_post_meta()

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta

   Then you would do:

   $producer = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'producer', true);

   then replace the the_meta() with

   _e($producer)

   I understand what you're trying to explain for me to do, I'm simply just really confused. From what you said this is what I came up with.

   <?php $meta_values = get_post_meta($producer = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'producer', true); ?>

   ???

   Am I creating a function and using the get_post_meta call? I'm really confused man.

   No, your exact code would look like what I posted. Because you only want to obtain one value 'producer' you only need to call that specific post_meta value so you literally only need

   $producer = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'producer', true);

   so where you have

   <?php the_meta(); ?>

   replace it with:

   <?php
       $producer = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'producer', true);
       _e($producer);
   ?>
