# How do I edit custom fields?

 * So for work i’ve just been assigned a website where I have to change agent information
   such as telephone number, name, email etc…I’ve traversed the entire dashboard
   but this is closest I can find to editing this data, and since this is just raw
   code I don’t know how to edit the actual data values. The plugin used for this
   is ‘Custom Content Types’, any help?
 *     ```
       <?php the_title(); ?><br />
                           <?php $custom_fields = get_post_custom(); ?>
       					<?php echo $custom_fields['agent_designation'][0]; ?><br />
       					<a href="mailto:<?php echo $custom_fields['agent_email'][0]; ?>"><?php echo $custom_fields['agent_email'][0]; ?></a><br />
       					<?php echo $custom_fields['agent_telephone'][0]; ?><br /><br />
       					<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">View Profile ></a>
       ```

 * Hi there! You can find specific help for this plugin in the [Custom Content Types support area](http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-content-types).
 * The actual data values, however, should be edited on each post or page’s edit
   page itself. Are there custom fields to be filled in below the body window when
   you’re editing your posts or pages?

 * Thanks for the quick response, and yes, it asks if I want to add a new custom
   field. I don’t want to add one though, I just want to edit a field that’s already
   there, but I don’t see a list of currently available fields.

 * It’s possible your fields are hidden because they’re not checked in the ‘Screen
   Options’ tab at the top of your edit page. Otherwise, you’ll have to ask in the
   [Custom Content Types support area](http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-content-types),
   because they will have specific knowledge of your plugin and how they’re supposed
   to display. Good luck!
