    I am using a number of custom fields with download monitor to display additional information with a download (song key, writes, year) I have created custom template to display this information however, I am no longer able to display that information using get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), ‘writer’, true); please advice what is the correct way to retrieve this information now.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hey Scott,

    That’s odd. Using get_post_meta should still work for downloads. I’m not sure get_the_ID() works because our downloads don’t have single pages. Where are you using this code? Can you post a full snippet of your code?

    Kind Regards,

    Hello Barry,

    Here is my code:

    <?php
/**
 * Output for songs via the [download] shortcode
 */

global $dlm_download;

?>
<span class="title"><?php $dlm_download->the_title(); ?></span> <span class="key"><?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'key', true); ?></span><br /><span class="writer"><?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'writer', true); ?></span>
 	<ul><li><a href="<?php $dlm_download->the_download_link(); ?>" rel="nofollow">Chords & Lyrics</a></li> 
<?php 
 if ($recording = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'mp3', true) !== "#") { 
	 echo ("<li><a href='" . get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'mp3', true) . "'>Recording</a></li>");
 } 

?>
<Br/>

</ul>

    Hey,

    Could you try replacing the get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), parts with get_post_meta($dlm_download->get_id(),

    Also please remove the global $dlm_download; line at the top completely.

    Kind Regards,
