Thanks samboll. That’s good advice except that the_excerpt doesn’t preserve any rich text formatting and I have no control about how much of the post is shown.

Any suggestions as to how to get the_content to operate as it should?

Yes it does. Thanks for you help!

Of course, I’ve now got a trickier problem but I’ll save that for a new post… 🙂

Hi Maerk.

Thanks for the prompt reply and for being so encouraging. I love wordpress but getting into the guts of it like this is a little intimidating.

My functions are structured like this:

function jm_get_title($postID) {...}
function jm_has_specific_meta($postid,$meta_key) {...}
function jm_list_specific_meta($meta_data,$meta_key) {...}

function jm_insert_fields() {
...
if($meta_data = jm_has_specific_meta($post_ID,'professional_speciality'))
jm_list_specific_meta($meta_data,'professional_speciality');
...
}

jm_insert_fields is executed – I can see the HTML it generates – but no list of meta data that should be generated by jm_list_specific_meta is visible.

HTH and thanks again.
