   Hi Rachel,

   Once again, great plugin.

   Using your movies and actors scenario, I have custom meta attached to both (e.g., release date for movies and age for actors).

   I have a template page to list all movies. For each movie, I want to list the actors and their ages.

   How do I retrieve the post and custom meta information from an attached CPT-onomy while in the loop?

   Thanks!

   Here you go! Hope this helps!

   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   
      ?><h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2><?php
   
      // retrieves the actors assigned to this movie
      $actors = wp_get_object_terms( get_the_ID(), 'actors' );
      if ( $actors ) {
         ?><ul><?php
            foreach( $actors as $actor ) {
   
               // if you wanted to retrieve the post info for each actor
               $actor_post = get_post( $actor->term_id );
   
               // retrieves the 'age' custom post meta
               $age = get_post_meta( $actor->term_id, 'age', true );
   
               ?><li><?php echo $actor->name; if( $age ) echo ' - ' . $age; ?></li><?php
   
            }
         ?></ul><?php
      }
   
      the_content();
   
   endwhile; endif; ?>

   Thanks Rachel. This is what I was looking for. I ended up finding likely an equivalent way to do this using variations of the functions you have here, namely get_the_terms (in place of wp_get_object_terms) and get_post_custom (as opposed to get post meta). My guess is that both do the same.

   Awesome. Glad you were able to get it working!
