Title: Custom Field Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Custom Field * [mherbert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mherbert/) * (@mherbert) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-field-34/) * Hi, I’m trying to get a custom field to display in my output. I have this code: * `

'.get_post_meta($post->ID, "memory_name", true).'\' s memory from '.get_the_date().'

` * The date works, getting an author works if I do that, but the meta data is not coming through. It works elsewhere on the site, just not on the plugin. Any ideas? Thanks. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/timeline-ultimate/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/timeline-ultimate/) Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) * Thread Starter [mherbert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mherbert/) * (@mherbert) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-field-34/#post-5576343) * In case anyone is looking for anything similar… * I wanted to put a guest author of the timeline post. I couldn’t get the custom field to work, but if anyone is looking you can find a piece of code to put in your functions.php that will swap the author for a custom field generally.
