I am trying to display the value of a Meta field on single.php. The Meta Key is 'current_rank'.
I tried...
<?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'current_rank', true); ?>
This code does not output anything, not even an error. Any suggestions?

Are you running that in The Loop? Are you certain a value is stored in 'current_rank' for that specific post?– Christine Cooper ♦Commented Sep 8, 2015 at 23:30

You're very likely running that outside of the loop.
To confirm, try the following:
$post_id = get_the_ID();
$current_rank = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'current_rank', true);
echo 'Post ID is: ' . $post_id;
echo '<br> Current Rank is: ' . $current_rank;
Are you getting post ID printed on the page? Is the current rank showing empty? Then the current_rank meta value for this post is definitely empty.

Figured it out. I the meta key was _current_rank not current_rank. Commented Sep 8, 2015 at 23:35
