How to show the author custom fields in postmeta?

You can use get_post_meta() in your theme to show those info on your site.

Where in the theme would you paste this code?

I would like to know the answer to this as well.

I too!

I am in a similar problem.
I must get $key="author" and place it before the content. 

I have managed to hack this together:

At the moment, it looks like this: 

		<div class="entry-content">

		<?php $key="author"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true) . ( ' writes:'); ?>
			<?php the_content(); ?>
			<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<p class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'path' ), 'after' => '</p>' ) ); ?>
		</div><!-- .entry-content -->

Problem is that the result looks wrong because the name (Name) form custom field “author” is not on the same line with the content.

It looks like this

Name writes:

Content blaa blaa

What I need, is:

Name writes: Content blaa blaa
