 * I have a post with 4 custom fields, and I am using the_meta() to display these.
   
   I want to add an image to the list items, but a different image for each item
   eg. key “Client” will have a small image of a person, key “Date” will have an
   image of a calendar…
 * How is this possible please?

 * Have sorted it using this method:
    `<li><span class="client">Client: </span> 
   <?php echo esc_html(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Client', true)); ?></li>`

 * Are you adding this list to your pages manually?

 * So it is coded in single.php., yes? If so, can we see just that code snippet?

 * Yes.
 *     ```
       <ul class="post-meta">
       <li><span class="client">Client: </span> <?php echo esc_html(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Client', true)); ?></li>
       <li><span class="date">Date: </span> <?php echo esc_html(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Date', true)); ?></li>
       <li><span class="website">Website: </span> <?php echo esc_html(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Website', true)); ?></li>
       <li><span class="services">Services Provided: </span> <?php echo esc_html(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Services', true)); ?></li>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * Now using CSS I can put a background image on each class with a bit of padding
   so put the image next to each “value”
