    Hi all,

    I’m trying to display the contents of a custom field with auto p tags if the content field has been added. So far I have this but it doesn’t work, can anyone help with what I’m doing wrong please?

    <?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'credits', true) ) : ?>
        <aside class="credits">
          <?php echo apply_filters('the_content', $credits); ?>
        </aside>
        <?php endif; ?>

    Try it with this [untested]:

    <?php
$credits = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'credits', true);
if ($credits != ''  ) : ?>
        <aside class="credits">
          <?php echo apply_filters('the_content', $credits); ?>
        </aside>
        <?php endif; ?>

    Ignore the above, I got myself in a pickle. The code below works ok.

    <?php if( $credits = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'credits', true) ): ?>
        <aside class="credits">
          <?php echo apply_filters('the_content', $credits); ?>
        </aside>
<?php endif; ?>

    Thanks Keesiemeijer, it seems your code works as well.
