   Hi,

   This may seem like a dumb question - but I can't seem to display the data typed into a custom post. If there an extra step to make that happen?!

   I cannot get anything to display on a standard page.

   Did you add output = true to the template for the items you want to display?

   Where do we do that?

   In the actual template code. So, in his example code it would be:

   [Plan]

   type = text

   size = 35

   label = Where are you going to go?

   output = true

   I am new to this plugin, and use custom fields a lot.

   So with the example above how would I go about displaying the outputter text as there is no key to select a certain field.

   I would normally do this
   get_post_custom_values('custom-text');

   The example that I posted? The "key" is "plan". So you would output it with shortcode like so:

   [cft key=Plan]

   This doesn't work when putting it into the actually code php page.

    You don't put it into the actual code php page when you're using shortcodes - you have the users put it into your post content. If you want to do it via php code, then, yes, you'd use the get_custom_post_values('Plan') approach.
