 * When I use editable_post_meta outside the loop it I don’t throw any errors but
   I the Front End Editor doesn’t show up when I double click on the custom field
   text. Any thoughts on fixing this?
 * Here’s my code:
 *     ```
       $teaser = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'short_teaser', true);
       if (empty($teaser) || $teaser == '[empty]') {
       	$teaser = 'my default content';
       	update_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'short_teaser', $teaser);
       }
       editable_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'short_teaser', 'rich');
       ```
