      I have this select field with two options:

      piklist('field', array(
 'type' => 'select'
 ,'field' => 'yachts_fuel'
 ,'label' => 'Καύσιμο'
 ,'value' => 'option1'
 ,'attributes' => array(
   'class' => 'text'
 )
 ,'choices' => array(
  'option1' => 'Πετρέλαιο'
  ,'option2' => 'Βενζίνη'
  )
 ));

      I want to show in the front end the value of ‘option1’ which is ‘Πετρέλαιο’. Using get_post_meta is returning the ‘option1’ and not the text ‘Πετρέλαιο’ that I want. How can I get that?

      get_post_meta($post->ID, 'yachts_fuel', true ); is what I used.

      Frontend rendering for this type of field isn’t implemented yet. You need to go old school. Try this:

      $yachts_fuel = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'yachts_fuel', true )

switch ($yachts_fuel)
{
  case 'option1':
      echo 'Πετρέλαιο';
      break;
  case 'option2':
      echo 'Βενζίνη';
      break;
}
