 * HI foks –
 * So I’m using _**get\_post\_meta**_ to show some custom fields.
 * It’s working like a champ on the single post page.
 * But…
    When I’m showing more than one result (the user wants to browse a category
   for example) the custom field is not rendered. I’m clearly still in the loop…
   me=confused
 * Here’s the code:
    `Job Code: <?php $key="Job_Code"; echo get_post_meta($post-
   >ID, $key, true); ?>`
 * Same code in both the single post template and the main index which is used when
   browsing a cat.
 * Any ideas?
