Custom Fields on Pages outside of loop?

    I would like to have two unique pieces of text — a title and subtitle — displayed at the top of each of my pages.

    I thought I could accomplish this using custom fields, but I am not sure if it is possible to get the values of custom fields outside of the loop?

    I tried the Get Custom Field Values plugin, but it displays the same text for each of the pages instead of pulling the custom field value for each page.

    Any suggestions?

  • Hello

    You can go into page.php file and hardcode what you want in there above the loop and use some if/else conditions to switch out the text for various pages. ??

    Thanks. I did figure out a way to do just what I wanted using a combination of the SEO Title Tag plugin and if/else statements. I installed the plugin, and added the following to page.php:

    <div id="header">

<h1><?php if(is_home()) {
			echo 'Home Page Title';
		}
		else
		{
		the_title();
		}
?>
</h1>
<h2><?php if (function_exists('seo_title_tag')) { seo_title_tag(); } else echo 'subtitle'; ?></h2>

</div>

    It looks kind of like this on the site (plus some css formatting):
    Title Subtitle

    Not sure if this was the best way to implement this, but it works for me ??
