Verve Meta Boxes with Custom Post Typse UI

    I am having difficulty getting the information that I enter into Verve metaboxes to show up on my site.

    As instructed, I entered <?php get_post_custom_values(‘latin_name’); ?> in the loop of post templates. That has not been working and I can’t tell which file the loop is for custom templates in Custom Templates UI plugin.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,
    Glenn

    Unless you’ve done something to use a different template for the loop, it’ll use the defualt loop regardless of what the post_type is.

    To output the custom field on the page, you need to do this:

    <?php
    $ln = get_post_custom_values(‘latin_name’);
    echo $ln[0];
    ?>

    see function refernece here:

    Thank you so much.
    One issue is that I would like to also echo the field label.
    I tried this code:
    <?php
    $custom_fields = get_post_custom();
    $latin_name = $custom_fields[‘latin_name’];
    foreach ( $latin_name as $key => $value )
    echo $key . “: ” . $value . “
    “;
    ?>

    But that displays “0: latin name of plant”
    How do I get it to display “Latin Name: latin name of plant”?

    Thank you.
