[Plugin: Custom Field Template] WordPress does not process custom text field

    This could be really simple but:

    I have a custom field as a textfield with tinyMCE.
    If I attach an image to the custom field the image shows up fine but the caption is not processed on the front end. It literally is outputted as [caption id="attachment_646" align="alignnone" width="225" caption="caption information"]: …image…[/caption]

    How do I get around this? Do I need to run content through a function to get it outputting properly first?

    [Image Column]
type = textarea
cols = 36
rows = 10
tinyMCE = true
mediaButton = true
class= imagecol
output = true

    Thanks

    Hi Kandi,

    Yes I got is sorted:

    <?php
$unprocessedfield = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'nameofyourcustomfield',true));
$processedfield = apply_filters('the_content', $unprocessedfield );
echo $processedfield;
?>

    I don’t get how that fixed it.

    When I use the method above, I still get the close tag for caption showing

    [/caption]then article text begins

    Manntis,

    proximity2008’s solution didn’t work for me either,
    while this, which seems identical, did:

    echo apply_filters(‘the_content’, get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘nameofyourcustomfield’, true));

    i don’t know if it’s a PHP4 thing or maybe the way strings are stored/displayed. Hope that helps.

    just thought I’d point out that there’s an extra ‘)’ in here – it should be

    <?php
$unprocessedfield = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'nameofyourcustomfield',true);
$processedfield = apply_filters('the_content', $unprocessedfield );
echo $processedfield;
?>
