    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Unless you’ve edited your template files to output the contents of the metaboxes, there’s not likely going to be any automatic output for them. You’ll need to go in and make sure those custom fields are being queried for for display.

    Ok — How do I do that?

    At minimum, you’ll need to utilize WordPress functions like get_post_meta() and similar to pull and output the information. However, I can’t immediately help you with regards to how you may want to display that data regarding HTML and I can’t tell you what the meta_keys to use are. If you followed some sort of tutorial to help set up the meta boxes, hopefully those have sections about displaying the information afterwards.
