Custom field not working when placed after “Recent Posts”

Hi Keesiemeijer,

Thanks for your reaction.
I’m not sure, but this is the code I’ve used:

<section>
	<?php $the_query = new WP_Query( 'showposts=3' ); ?>
	<?php while ($the_query -> have_posts()) : $the_query -> the_post(); ?>
		<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
			<div>

				<header>
					<h4 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>
				</header>
				<span>
					<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
				</span>

			</div>
		</article><!-- #post -->
	<?php endwhile;?>
</section>

The problem occurs in the following templates: Twenty Twelve, Twenty Thirteen, Twenty Fourteen.

Yes!
