    Sorry for asking this but i really don’t understand how to use custom fields functions.
    I want to show on some of my pages, after each post, only the first two fields of my custom fields. Using <?php the_meta(); ?> in within the loop shows, of course, all the fields of posts on the page. Can someone please show me how is it done, maybe with some examples?

  • Maybe the examples from here give you some clues:

    On my internal company website, we made it so that Posts can have links to Related Video, Related Pics, and so on. So in my index.php inside the loop under <?php the_content(); ?> I stick this:

    <?php if (get_post_custom_values('Video')): foreach (get_post_custom_values('Video') as $Video) {} ?><p class="related-video"><a href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "Video", true); ?>" title="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "Video", true); ?>"> <img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') ?>/img/video_icon.gif" alt="Video" /> Watch The Video</a></p><?php endif; ?>

    What this does is if a user enters the word Video into the Key in the Custom Fields and a link to the video, it will show up a “<camcorder image> Watch The Video”. If there is no custom field key Video, nothing appears.

    That’s one way to use the Custom fields.
