Help show custom fields on wp-print WordPress
- SOLVED
Hello I am trying to show my posts custom fields on the printable page that the WP Print plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-print/) creates.
In the Authors forum it explains how to do it , however I think this was for an older version of wordpress. (http://forums.lesterchan.net/index.php?topic=1377.0)
I added this to the print-posts.php but it does not show the custom field as it does on my single.php:
<?php $postsireurl = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'sire', true); if ($postsireurl) { ?><?php echo $postsireurl; ?><?php } else { ?><?php } ?>
I think I need to add a bit of code to the wp-print.php ?
If someone could tell me what snippets of code to add to what files I would be very appreciative.
Thanks

Hi,
Did you do it inside the loop or outside the loop?
The forum advise you to use get_the_id() instead of just $post->ID
Christianto comments:
This is example your code with the post id grab using get_the_ID function instead from $post object ($post->ID)
<?php $current_postid = get_the_ID(); $postsireurl = get_post_meta($current_postid, 'sire', true); if ($postsireurl) { ?><?php echo $postsireurl; ?><?php } else { ?><?php } ?>
