   Hello,
   I have problems with the fields showing up on the posts. I'm not really good with php. What I have been doing is putting this into the bottom of functions.php (theme functions.php)

    function getCustomField($theField) {
   	global $post;
   	$block = get_post_meta($post->ID, $theField);
   	if($block){
   		foreach(($block) as $blocks) {
   			echo $blocks;
   		}
   	}
   }

   And this into single.php

   <?php getCustomField('Day Number'); ?>

   This is my settings.

    [Day Number]
   type = text
   size = 10
   output = true
   

   I'm using Suffusion theme and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

   Thanks in advance

   Update:
   Found that I should only need to add

   <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Your Field Name', true); ?>

   to the template but I have no idea which file or line.

   Thanks.

   Hey

   Do you know how to add the custom field name as well as the field content
   e.g:

   Day Number: field content

   ??

   Yes, this takes a little getting your head round.

   Nick1. Your code goes into the page (ie: page.php or single.php) in the position you want it to show.

   I'm trying to get these custom fields to show in a widget - anyone know how to do that?
