      Hi there,

      I’m really stuck. I just can’t seem to get my Piklist editor values to show in replace of the default WordPress values. Have looked through the forums which point me to the get_post_meta in WordPress help, but it’s just not helping.

      I have created my demo_metabox.php file.
      And within it have created a text field:
      piklist(‘field’, array(
      ‘type’ => ‘text’
      ,’field’ => ‘subtitle’
      ,’label’ => ‘Subtitle Text Box’
      ,’description’ => ‘Enter the year of birth here’
      ,’value’ => ‘Default text’
      ,’help’ => ‘Example: b.1940′
      ,’attributes’ => array(
      ‘class’ => ‘text’
      )
      ));
      This is working, it now shows in the editor.
      Great. Happy with this.

      In single.php I have called my custom fields in the same way I would normally.

      <?php
      $subtitle= get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘demo_subtitle’, true);
      ?>

      <?php if($subtitle){?>
      <h3><?php echo $subtitle;?></h3>
      <?php } ?>

      This returns nothing.
      I just can’t move forward until I figure out how to get the values coming through.

      Please help!
      Cheers.

      Your field is subtitle but you’re pulling demo_subtitle. They need to match.

      I think this thread is addressing a similar (basic problem) for me. I have a custom post type that I am using Piklist to relate to my regular posts. If the regular post has the related post checked off then it should display the singular template in a certain way otherwise it reverts to its default. 

      <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	
	
	<?php $purchase = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'sponsor', true ); var_dump( $purchase );   ?>
	<?php if( ! $purchase ) { ?>
		
		
		<div class="inner">
		<ul class="author-post actions">		
		<li><a class="icon-wrapper circle" 
			href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ); ?>">
		<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ), 48 ); ?>
		</a></li>
		<li><a href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ); ?>">
		<?php echo get_the_author();?></a>
		<br /><?php posted_on(); ?></li>
		<li><li><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>" class="button">Purchase</a></li></li>
		</ul>
		</div><!-- inner //-->

      The issue is that the var_dump reveals: string(0) ""

      It’s simply not getting any results, therefore my template is always displaying the “false” conditional.

      Can you post the field code for ‘sponsor’?

      I RTFM the related posts section of the documentation and found that it was better to use get_posts() instead of get_post_meta():

      ?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
	<section id="main" class="wrapper style3">
	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	
	
	<?php 
		$purchasers = get_posts(array(
		'post_type' => 'sponsor'
		,'posts_per_page' => -1
		,'post_belongs' => $post->ID
		,'post_status' => 'publish'
		,'suppress_filters' => false // This must be set to false
		));
		
		 var_dump($purchasers); // do we have a pulse?

      I keep getting no results. Sorry about posting in the other thread. I thought it was cross related. No issue-pun intended.

      Never mind I figured it out. The code was correct.
