• I’m working on a theme for teachers with a custom post type, lesson plan. For example: http://www.englishadvantage.info/testblog/lesson/writing-good-toefl-paragraphs-quickly/

    The info on the right: Goals, Objectives, and Materials are all generated in meta fields I generated. I don’t understand why the Goal is showing, the objectives are showing, but the materials aren’t showing even though there is information there:

    This is the code for that part of the page:

    <div id="goal">
    <?php if (!empty($goal)) echo "<h3>Goal</h3>","<br>",$goal; ?>
    
    <?php if (!empty($objective1)) echo"<h3>Objectives</h3>","<br>","&#149", $objective1;?>
    <?php if (!empty($objective2)) echo "<br>","&#149", $objective2; ?>
    <?php if (!empty($objective3)) echo "<br>","&#149", $objective3; ?>
    
    <h3>Materials</h3>
    <?php if (!empty($materials1)) echo "<br>","&#149", $materials2; ?>
    <?php if (!empty($materials2)) echo "<br>","&#149", $materials2; ?>
    <?php if (!empty($materials3)) echo "<br>","&#149", $materials3; ?>
    <?php if (!empty($materials4)) echo "<br>","&#149", $materials4; ?>
    <?php $args = array(
       'post_type' => 'attachment',
       'numberposts' => -1,
       'post_status' => null,
       'post_parent' => $post->ID
      );
      $attachments = get_posts($args);
         if ($attachments) {
            foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {
               echo "<br>","&#149";
               the_attachment_link($attachment->ID, true);
         }
         };
    ?>
    </div><!--#goal-->

    You’ll see one listing under Materials, but that is being picked up by the attachment loop at the end.

    To be clear, the Materials meta boxes are not blank on the Edit Post page. And I did a brand new lesson plan to see if the issue was something with my cache. No luck.
