 * I am creating a loop to pull the posts from wordpress. I am trying to get the
   loop to get the custom field called ‘itemNum’ so that I can use that to generate
   the link to the image for that post. So far I am not having any luck. Here is
   my code:
 *     ```
       <div id="product-grid">
       		<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   
       			<div class="product">
       				<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="shadowbox[<?php single_cat_title(); ?>];width=600" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
       				<img src="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/images/<?php get_post_custom_values('itemNum'); ?>.jpg">
       				<p><?php the_title(); ?></p></a>
       			</div>
   
       		<?php endwhile; ?>
       		<?php endif; ?>
       </div>
       ```

 * Didn’t test this but try:
 *     ```
       <div id="product-grid">
       		<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
       		$itemnum = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'itemNum', true);
       		if ($itemnum) {
       		?>
   
       			<div class="product">
       				<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="shadowbox[<?php single_cat_title(); ?>];width=600" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
       				<img src="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/images/<?php echo $itemnum; ?>.jpg">
       				<p><?php the_title(); ?></p></a>
       			</div>
   
       		<?php
       		}
       		endwhile; ?>
       		<?php endif; ?>
       </div>
       ```
