I would like to display custom field under the post title (each post on each page). I found that I need to insert the following code: <?php the_meta(); ?> in the theme index.php file in the loop. However index.php of the twentyten theme has no loop!
I suspect I need to modify the loop.php file but do not know. I am an absolute beginner to WP but try to modify the theme a bit.
1. Can anyone advise on which files need to be modified?
2. And also where in the loop this line of code need to be placed if I want the information to be under the post title.
3. How/where can I style this custom field? Which class in CSS file?
Any help will be much appreciated,
Peter
Before you do anything.. don't edit the Twenty ten theme.
Your changes will be over-written the next time you upgrade WordPress or the theme. For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customizations.
Once you have a child theme set up, look for
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Not Found', 'twentyten' ); ?></h1>
That line generates the title, you can insert your code underneath.

Christine, many thanks for the prompt reply.
I will create the child theme. V good idea. Thnk you.
Which file do I have to look for the line of code you mentioned?
Is it the loop.php?
Look at loop-page.php and loop.php
