    Hello,

    First time poster, I hope I have this the right location… so here goes:

    I have a custom drop down field called ‘cp_cat’ with options of ‘yes’ and ‘no’.

    The value is set to yes but when I view the post the text is showing no. Here is the code:

    <?php if (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'cp_cat', true ))
    if($value == 'yes') {
          echo 'yes';
       }
    else {
          echo 'no';
       }

    ?>

    Any ideas?

    <?php
//Note: also will display no if custom field DOES NOT exist
$value = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'cp_cat', true);
if ($value == 'yes') {
  echo $value;
} else {
  echo 'no';
}
?>
