 * Hi
    This is a basic question but I just can’t find the answer anywhere. I have
   added some custom fields to my post but I can’t find out what to do to make them
   show. I have found an answer but it just tells me the php not which file to put
   it in or where. Can someone help me with this? Thanks Sarah

 * Where you put the php code depends on where you want the field to show up. You’d
   want it in [The Loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop), which is in one or
   more of your theme’s [template files](http://codex.wordpress.org/images/1/18/Template_Hierarchy.png).
   It does depend a lot on how your theme is written but start by checking the index.
   php file and the single.php file. Newer themes might use the `get_template_part()`
   function to call the loop so keep an eye out for that function.

 * Hi
 * I read the bit that said that, I think I found where it should go but when I 
   tried it, the page just wouldn’t load. Therefore I am obviously putting it in
   the wrong place. I just need to someone to say – here is the page you need to
   put it in and here is where.
