Exclude individual custom fields from single

    Hey,

    I’m trying to exclude the custom field ‘Image’ from displaying on all single posts. I have four or five other meta keys and just need to stop the post image from displaying.

    I have seen some things around about how to do this, but they were fairly confusing. This one for example was the closest I got to a conclusive answer. But as you’ll see from my attempt at implementation, it did not end well.

    Any help appreciated,
    Marc

    Not sure where you are putting that code but it should be inside your loop in your single.php. This worked fine for me:

    <?php
if ( $keys = get_post_custom_keys() ) {
  echo "\n";
  foreach ( (array) $keys as $key ) {
    $keyt = trim($key);
    if ( '_' == $keyt{0} || 'Image' == $keyt )
      continue;
    $values = array_map('trim', get_post_custom_values($key));
    $value = implode($values,', ');
    echo apply_filters('the_meta_key', " $key: $value\n", $key, $value);
  }
  echo "\n";
}
?>

    Oh! That worked. My problem was an issue with how I was writing the Loop.

    Thanks for your help. Wondering if someone might be able to help me with two more mini questions:

    1. How do I control the order that the fields display in?
    2. How can I display each custom field on a new line?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    1. can’t find it right now, but I’m pretty sure I saw a method to do that somewhere in the forums in the last month or so
    2. could put echo "\n"; after this echo apply_filters('the_meta_key', " $key: $value\n", $key, $value);
