    Hello, could some kind soul point me in the right direction by any chance….?

    I have this code added to my functions file. This is to ADD a custom field to the content but it doesn’t seem to work ?? . Can anyone see anything wrong with this code?

    function added_content($content) {
   $customimage = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Images', true);
   $content = $content . $customimage ;
   return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'added_content' );

    Thanks for your help!

  • Yes – where is $post->ID supposed to be coming from?

    Hi Esmi.

    Hrmmmmm………well….the short answer is, i don’t know.

    Appologies for the ignorance but I took the get_post_meta() function from my theme template – where it works fine, BUT ….now im realising that’s because it was within the loop. Woops.

    …..How would i get this to work as if it were inside the loop?

    HUGE newbie to php – struggling through….

    Try:

    function added_content($content) {
   global &post;
   $customimage = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Images', true);
   $content = $content . $customimage ;
   return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'added_content' );

    Woo…it works – your a legend!

    So….i guess i need to remember to call the global post variable.

    i WILL remember this for next time.

    Thanks for your time esmi.
