You can easily get the post content by using:
get_post($post->ID);
And as for your custom fields, you can get them with this function:
get_post_custom($post->ID);

Thank you for the response.
I did try them earlier but don’t seem to get the custom fields.
Here is the code –
global $post;
$post->ID = 10;
$post = get_post($post->ID);
echo the_title();
echo $post->ID;
if (have_posts()) :
$custom = get_post_custom($post->ID);
$events = get_group('event');
if ($events) {
foreach ($events as $event) {
echo $event['event_link'][1];
echo $event['event_name'][1];
}
}
endif;
The above code displays the title and the ID , but doesn’t display the custom fields. What am I missing here?

Are you using the Advanced custom fields plugin? Because i’m not familiar with the get_group() function. Next to that; you’re getting your custom fields, but you aren’t looping through the results. Try:
$custom = get_post_custom($post->ID);
foreach($custom as $event){
echo $event;
}
Next to that, why do you check for posts (if->have_posts()) AFTER you’ve echoo’ed the title and post ID?

The output of $event just dumps everything in the custom fields together as follows-
Array ( [0] => 1 ) Array ( [0] => 1319043854:1 ) Array ( [0] => 2 ) Array ( [0] => Central Valley [1] => Fresno ) Array ( [0] => http://kpnet.kp.org/centralvalley/wellness/index.html [1] => http://insidekp.kp.org/california/fresno/services/livewellbewell/index.html ) Array ( [0] => default ) Array ( [0] => a:0:{} )
I am using the Magic Fields Plugin to add custom fields to a post.
get_group(‘groupname’) is a method to retrieve values that are grouped together.
This group event has 2 fields – name and link. How can I retrieve it as a name/value pair?
eg.
Post:Programs
Group: Event (can be multiple groups)
name:event1 link:www.event1.com
name:event2 link:www.event2.com
I’m not familiar with that plugin, i think your best guess is to find if the pluing has a community or ask the plugin’s creator.

I apologize, my mistake. I published the content and it worked. I had updated content and it was saved as a draft earlier, and hence wasn’t getting the events.
Here is the updated code –
GLOBAL $post;
$post->ID = 10;
$post = get_post($post->ID);
//== GET CUSTOM DATA
$custom = get_post_custom($post->ID);
$sections = get_group(‘event’); // uses multiple values
if ($sections) {
foreach ($sections as $section) {
echo $section[‘event_link’][1];
echo $section[‘event_name’][1];
}
}
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
