# Loop Issue

 * Trying to insert the URL for any given organization into a list of search results.
   The following inserts the post metadata for the custom field ‘link’ but inserts
   the first item’s URL for all subsequent items in the results. Obviously, I need
   the URL for each individual organization. Not sure what I am missing.
 *     ```
       <!-- Loop -->
        <?php 
       	$link = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'link', TRUE);
               if ( have_posts() ) { 
                   while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
       		<p><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
       		<?php
                       get_template_part( 'parts/content', get_post_format() );
                   endwhile;
       	} 
               else { ?>
               <div class="no-results"><p><?php _e('No posts found.', 'vega'); ?></p></div>
               <?php } ?>
       <!-- /Loop -->
       ```
   
 * Any assistance appreciated.
 * Thanks!

 * You should probably do this _inside_ the loop, i. e.:
 *     ```
       <?php 
       	if ( have_posts() ) { 
       		while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
       			$link = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'link', TRUE);
       ?>
       			<p><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
       …
       …
       ```

 * I tried that, but, I think that I must have had the syntax wrong. Working now!
 * Thank you for the quick reply!
