    I know you can do this by custom fields, i can create them fine etc but what do i need to add into single.php to get this to work?

    Thanks

    ive tried using

    <?php the_meta();??>

    but this brings in all my custom fields so it adds the images and thumbnails when i only want venue, city and date

    Ive also tried echoing with

    <p class=”itemlinks”>Venue: <? echo get_post_meta($post_id, ‘venue’, true); ?>
    <p class=”itemlinks”>Date: <? echo get_post_meta($post_id, ‘date:’, true); ?>
    <p class=”itemlinks”>City: <? echo get_post_meta($post_id, ‘city’, true); ?>

    this then just doesnt show the information?

    where am i going wrong?

    Sorted it

    <p class=”itemlinks”>date: <?php $key=”date”; echo stripslashes(get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true)); ?> </p>

    <p class=”itemlinks”>Venue: <?php $key=”venue”; echo stripslashes(get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true)); ?> </p>

    <p class=”itemlinks”>city: <?php $key=”city”; echo stripslashes(get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true)); ?> </p>
