 * I am trying to retrieve specific data from the post:
 * This is my functions.php code
 *     ```
       add_action('add_meta_boxes','custom_add_meta_box');
   
        function custom_add_meta_box(){
        	add_meta_box(
       		'home_details',               // ID
       		'Add New Home',			      // Title
       		'custom_display_meta_box',    // Callback
       		'post',                       // Targeted post type
       		'normal'                      // Position
       		);
        }
   
        function custom_display_meta_box($post){
       	 // Variables
       	 $home_price = get_post_meta($post -> ID, 'price', true);
       	 $home_sqf = get_post_meta($post -> ID, 'sqf', true);
       	 $home_bed = get_post_meta($post -> ID, 'num_bedrooms', true);
       	 $home_bath = get_post_meta($post -> ID, 'num_bathrooms', true);
       	 $home_description = get_post_meta($post -> ID, 'description', true);
       	 $home_address = get_post_meta($post -> ID, 'address', true);
       ```
   
 * This is my index.php
 *     ```
       <?php if(have_posts()):?>
       <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post();?>
       <div class="row">
           <div class="large-4 columns">
               <div class="panel bodyHeight">
                <?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>
                <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a>
                <?php endif;?>
               </div>
            </div>
            <div class="large-8 columns">
               <div class="panel bodyHeight">
               <p>Price: <?php echo the_post($home_price);?></p>
               </div>
            </div>
       </div>
       <?php endwhile;?>
       <?php else: ?>
       <div class="row">
           <div class="large-4 columns">
               <div class="panel bodyHeight">
               <h3>No posts were found.</h3>
               </div>
           </div>
       </div> <?php endif;?>
   
       </div>
       ```
   
 * As you can see I am trying to format my page so that I can position every value
   from the DB in specific location on the page I am trying to start with PRICE 
   as you can see but I am getting blank.
 * Also pasts that I have created I have categorized them under “for-sale” slug 
   not sure if that makes a difference.
 * Thanks
