Custom Fields

  • I know this has been oft discussed, but I still have NO idea how to do this. None of the instructions have been dumbed down enough for me. ??

    Could someone VERY VERY simply explain where to go/what to do?

    As of now, the best I can figure is that I have to edit each & every entry in order to make custom fields and even then, they don’t show up.

    Help, please?

    Can you give me a ballpark where the meta li, ul.post-meta li { display: inline; } are in my style sheet? (sorry, we got so off topic I forgot what my question was!)

    Lines 171-173

    I don’t have lines above 149

    I copy pasted your style sheet and my text editor says there are 470 lines… Anyway, can’t you do a search on the css file in some editor? That Dreamweaver for instance

    … Style sheet… I was looking at my index.php file, that’s why. ??

    And tada! You’re amazing!

    Thanks again.

    I prefer not to create a new thread for my question, which is related to custom fields.

    I have the plugin miniposts activated on my blog, then, when I put <?php the_meta(); ?> in the Index.php file, it displays:
    “_mini_post: 0” (in a normal post)
    or
    “_mini_post: 1” (in a minipost)

    Question is:
    How can I display the other fields and not the minipost one.

    Thanks!

    From looking at the code, it looks like the_meta() iterates over all the custom fields so I’m unsure why it wouldn’t list all of them.

    That said, if you want a particular one returned to you to deal with as you wish, you could look into using the post_custom() function and passing it a particular key you’re interested in.

    Ok, it works with the plugin “Get Custom Field Values”.
    Thank you

    Hi! I’m new to WP. Is it possible to display custom fields without the *ol* tags? Thanks.

    Can I have category-specific custom fields?

    So,

    Category 1: Will have custom fields “Artists Ranking”, “Artists Label”
    Category 2: Will have custom fields “Publisher”, “ISBN”

    ..and so on?

    You can’t tie custom fields to categories since they are post elements. But they can be whatever you want, and you can certainly use “Artists Ranking” and “Artists Label” for posts that reside in category 1; you’ll just need to manage them on your own (i.e. select those from the custom field dropdown only when posting to category 1).

    Rejoice, all the custom-field-challenged, for here is the good news.

    Go to the Webpage of Amory and

    1. either follow the author’s detailed instructions

      2. or

    2. plainly download the pre-tweaked, custom field-enriched builds of WP 1.5.0 or WP 1.5.1.

    I was literally saved by Amory twice.

    i’m trying to get the music that i’ve listened to for each post to show up on the right sidebar when someone is looking at the post. check out what is happening — does the text for the “listening to:” look really small to you?

    nevermind — i think i’ve fixed it, but i can’t figure out how to move the artist/song down to a new line without having the colon from “listening to:” come with it. can someone help me with that… simple fix, probably?

    thanks.

    just a matter of getting rid of the colon, now. how do i do that?

    (sorry for the tripple post)
