   Quick and dirty here we go.

   I am using custom meta-box to show concert data, (i.e. location, venue).

   I have my function.php

   [Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

   Now I want to incorporate the data from these custom fields onto the post itself, once I have filled them in on the post edit page. Please tell me if this is the proper way to display custom field information on a page.

   <?php if( $venue_info[0] ) : ?>
     <?php echo $venue_info[0] ?>
     <?php endif; ?>

   And of course I put that code into the loop.

   Keep in mind that this works, but what works isn't always what's proper.
   Thank you!

   That should not work, you should be using get_post_meta(), if it already works then it must already be in your include file?

   Proper post meta would be like:
   Single = get_post_meta($post->ID,'venue_info',true);
   Or $info=get_post_meta($post->ID);
   Then $info[0] $info[1]

   And this is assuming that you also have code to save the values from the meta boxes.

   Thank you for your help. In your example would you be echoing the $info[0] ?

   My include is a bit large for the forum but here it is. May help.

   Yes that is correct post meta code so you would echo $info[0] the variable like, Untested:
   

   <?php
   $info=array();
   $info=get_post_meta($post->ID);
   ?>

   If it is set and has a value do stuff
   

   <?php if(isset($info[0]) && $info[0]) : ?>
   <h1><?php echo $info[0]; ?></h1>
   <?php endif; ?>
