   This could be really simple but:

   I have a custom field as a textfield with tinyMCE.
   If I attach an image to the custom field the image shows up fine but the caption is not processed on the front end. It literally is outputted as [caption id="attachment_646" align="alignnone" width="225" caption="caption information"]: ...image...[/caption]

   How do I get around this? Do I need to run content through a function to get it outputting properly first?

   [Image Column]
   type = textarea
   cols = 36
   rows = 10
   tinyMCE = true
   mediaButton = true
   class= imagecol
   output = true

   Thanks

   Hi Kandi,

   Yes I got is sorted:
   

   <?php
   $unprocessedfield = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'nameofyourcustomfield',true));
   $processedfield = apply_filters('the_content', $unprocessedfield );
   echo $processedfield;
   ?>

   I don't get how that fixed it.

   When I use the method above, I still get the close tag for caption showing

   [/caption]then article text begins

   Manntis,

   proximity2008's solution didn't work for me either,
   while this, which seems identical, did:

   echo apply_filters('the_content', get_post_meta($post->ID, 'nameofyourcustomfield', true));

   i don't know if it's a PHP4 thing or maybe the way strings are stored/displayed. Hope that helps.

   just thought I'd point out that there's an extra ')' in here - it should be

   <?php
   $unprocessedfield = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'nameofyourcustomfield',true);
   $processedfield = apply_filters('the_content', $unprocessedfield );
   echo $processedfield;
   ?>
