Woocommerce custom fields

Question

I'm using woocommerce plugin in my wordpress web site. In Admin panel for products I've added few custom fields as shown bellow:

On my shop page, I want to print the custom field values, and I use the following code ( my code is inside the while loop):

 <?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'flavour1Title', true); ?>

But I get empty string for any retrieved value.

Please can someone explain me what is wrong with my code?

Thx!

Firstly, i would use a custom function in your child themes functions file rather than add the code directly to the template file.

You can use the WooCommerce conditional tags and hooks in your code.

echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'collection_text', true );

It would be best to use Advanced Custom Fields to handle your custom field implementation. They offer a free and pro version.

You create your field groups, and have them display in a custom post type (in this case, it would be the WooCommerce custom post type).

You can then call a field while in the loop as simple as <?php the_field('hero_image'); ?>

Here is a full example:

    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

        <h1><?php the_field('custom_title'); ?></h1>

        <img src="<?php the_field('hero_image'); ?>" />

        <p><?php the_content(); ?></p>

    <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
