 * Hello,
 * I am using this code for displaying post custom field value
 * `<?php echo "Model: "; $key_name = get_post_custom_values($key = 'Model');echo
   $key_name[0]; ?>`
    and some others.
 * Sometimes post does not have all custom fields and there is displaying just text“
   ModeL:”
    How can I change the code above in order to display nothing when custom
   fields model is blank.

 * Hello
    you can use this function
 * echo “Model: “.get_post_meta(‘your-post-id-here’, ‘Model’, true);

 * thanks for quick reply.
 * i need instead of ‘your-post-id-here use curent post id, beacuse it will be displayed
   on thousands of posts detail

 * To get the current post ID, you can use function `get_the_ID()`. So the code 
   is:
 * `echo 'Model: ', get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'Model', true );`
 * By the way, if you need a better way to create custom fields, there’s a plugin
   [Meta Box](https://metabox.io) that can help you a lot.

 * you can aslo check if the field is filled in before you output:
 *     ```
       <?php $key_name = get_post_custom_values($key = 'Model');
       if( $key_name[0] ) { echo "Model: "; echo $key_name[0]; } ?>
       ```
