    i’m running the latest version, and the custom fields don’t work. i try to add a field, but it just refreshes the page. at the top it says that the field was created, but it’s not there. was there supposed to be a new database table created when i ran upgrade.php? because there isn’t one. =/

    Yes you should have a postmeta table now. Maybe try re-uploading upgrade.php and running it again?

    damnit! it created one field and then stopped working again. it won’t let me update the field either. i had to go into phpMyAdmin and change things myself. x_x

    Yes, you just select it from the menu and enter a new value. You display it on your entry with: <?php the_meta(); ?>

    Hehe, I figured it out myself just before I read your post. Thanks though!
    My other question is, is there a way to edit the way the meta data is displayed?
    Right now, it seems like there are circle bullet points with some spacing around it. Where can I find the function to edit the formatting?
