 * Hi I have a similar problem. I have a
    metabox:Social Links metabox arguments
   with meta name: social
 * I have two fields facebook,twitter linked to posts. I can see them and their 
   default values ‘#’ when I create a post. So I assume the set up part works. Now
   I write a function
 *     ```
       $args = array(
               'post_type' => 'post',
               'category_name' => 'directors',
               'orderby'=> 'id',
               'posts_per_page' => 1,
               'order' => 'asc'
           );
   
       $post_query = new WP_Query($args);
           if($post_query->have_posts() ) {
   
           while($post_query->have_posts() ) : $post_query->the_post();
        $social = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'social', true );
           foreach ($social as $link) {
                       echo $link['facebook'] . '<br/>';
                       echo $link['twitter'] . '<br/>';
                   }
           endwhile;
   
       }
       ```
   
 * The function echos nothing when called. I am not sure where I went wrong

 * It should work. You can have a look at the documentation, [http://www.cozmoslabs.com/docs/wordpress-creation-kit-documentation/#Custom_Fields_Creator](http://www.cozmoslabs.com/docs/wordpress-creation-kit-documentation/#Custom_Fields_Creator)
   but the code seems ok.
 * You might want to try to do
 *     ```
       $social = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'social', true );
       echo '<pre>';
       var_dump( $social );
       echo '</pre>';
       ```
   
 * and see if there’s anything in the social variable.
