Conditional custom fields

    Alright, so the website for my high school journalism program has custom fields for the writer’s name and their corresponding job title. Here’s the code to display them in posts:

    <?php $writer = get_post_meta($post->ID, writer, true); $jobtitle = get_post_meta($post->ID, jobtitle, true); if ($writer) { ?><?php echo $writer; if ($jobtitle) { ?>, <?php echo $jobtitle; }} ?>

    It comes out to look like this: “Writer, Jobtitle”. I’d like for these to be conditional with the word “None” for when the post lacks a writer/jobtitle. How could I achieve this? Thanks in advance.

    Try:

    <?php
$writer = get_post_meta($post->ID, writer, true);
$jobtitle = get_post_meta($post->ID, jobtitle, true);
if ($writer) echo $writer;
else echo 'None';
if ($jobtitle) echo $jobtitle;
else echo 'None';
?>

    That did the trick. Thank you very much.
