Simple custom field question

    I’ve been working too long and my brain hurts, so if somebody could help me with this simple problem, that would be great.

    I have a section on my site with various information for events going on in my county. The main information is being added using custom fields so, for example, the town is a custom field and I just want it to simply print it out as it is typed in.

    I’m using the code below, but it doesn’t work. It shows the section on Town: in bold, but it doesn’t show the actual info.

    I have checked, and it is in the correct place in the post custom field.

    <?php if( get_post_meta($post->ID, "eventtown", true) ): ?>
<b>Town: </b><?php echo $eventtown; ?>
<br />
<?php else: ?>
<?php endif; ?>

    Here is the URL if it helps:

    are you trying to echo the custom field value?

    <?php if( get_post_meta($post->ID, "eventtown", true) ): ?>
<b>Town: </b><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "eventtown", true); ?>
<br />
<?php else: ?>
<?php endif; ?>
