  Sure, I’d ask that if it is a complicated request that we save it for the meeting so we can devote some time to it. I’d prefer to not have long debates over this casual chat board.

  So Im using the get_post_meta to pull in custom info from certain posts. Heres my code:

  
ID, 'test_name', true)) { ?>
ID, 'test_name'); ?>


  That prints out only one item but I need it to pull all the custom fields called “test_name” (multiple custom fields with the same key). How can I modify that to pull all of them? Thanks for the help!

  So this one post has multiple meta values all named the same..’test_name’? Maybe you should create a custom taxonomy instead…
  register_taxonomy($taxonomy, $object_type, $args);

  Passing in true to get_post_meta will get you an array if more than one value with that key is there. Where you echo it out, you’ll want to pass in true as well and then (depending on what output you’re trying for) wrap it in something like join() to separate each value with a string. e.g. (hoping this formats…)
  if ($test_name = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘test_name’, true) {
  echo join(‘, ‘, $test_name);
  }

  Passing in true will return only the first value…

  Let’s use this as our first workshop in the January meeting, because I think there’s a few ways to skin this cat.
