How can I display the parts of custom posts?

Question

I have a custom post type called Testimonial that includes custom fields "name", "title" and "bank". I would like to display each of these items on a page. Here's what I have so far:

    <?php
    while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
      the_title();
      echo '<div class="entry-content">';
      the_content();
      echo '</div>';
    endwhile;
    ?>

This gives me something close to what I want but I don't know how to get at the actual fields individually. How do I do that?

Answer 1

<?php
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
  the_title();
  echo '<div class="entry-content">';
  the_content();
  echo '</div>';
  echo '<div class="custom-field">';
  echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'name', true );
  echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'title', true );
  echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'bank', true );
  echo '</div>';
endwhile;
?>

This is how you would display the custom fields below the content. I didn't test it but it should work. Hope this helps. Also read Milo's answer and read the Codex so you understand how it works.

Also it looks like you are using a custom query object ($loop), so read this article as well:

See the Custom Fields page in Codex for the various functions available to output your fields: get_post_custom, get_post_custom_values, get_post_meta, the_meta.
