    I am just started. I added a post type called videos and added a custom field named video_link. then I tried to add that custom field in my single-video.php with that
    <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘video_link’, true); ?>
    but that is not showing the YT link.

    I even tried that in loop of recent post but not working:

    <div class="section group">
<?php
//WordPress loop for custom post type
 $my_query = new WP_Query('post_type=videos&posts_per_page=9');
      while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
	  ?>
          <div class="col x4 vid_list">
     <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?> Video Download"><img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘video_link’, true); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a><br/>
	<a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?> Video Download"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
  </div>

<?php endwhile;  wp_reset_query(); ?>

</div>

    it output an empty value

    You’re using curly quotes instead of straight quotes…

    My reply contained both the problem and the solution. I’m really not sure what more there is to say.

    My problem solved.. It never had any error. I used video link as custom field name and renamed it video_link later. but the id i think didn’t rename. So the return value was null. I deleted that custom field and added new field named video_link and the code works.
    But tell me one thing… What is the id if I use space in custom field name?
    As example, for a space name, is it
    get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘a space name’, true); ?
    It doesnt work.
    or get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘a%20space%20name’, true); ?
    or get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘a-space-name’, true); ?
    or get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘a_space_name’, true); ?
