# Custom Feild problem

 * Hello,
 * I install RC Custom field GUI, and More Fields.
    I install it so I can get additional
   fields when writing post.
 * I want that filled fields what I write/choose would be visible on my website 
   when people are reading my blog.
 * BUT… they are not showing on my website.
 * ##################
    Maybe to clarify: Let say I have field ADDRESS: and I fill
   it with text “bla bla home address”. I expect that visitors of my blog also see
   this in that post: “ADDRESS: bla bla home address”
 * Do I miss something, or those fields are just to be in post when looking over
   admin/manage/posts?
 * I would appreciate for any help.
    Thanks, and sorry for my bad English.

 * Custom fields are designed as variables that can be plugged into a page template
   and or theme. To use a custom field you will have to manually add the appropriate
   code to output a field.
 * One simple function is [`the_meta`](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_meta).
   You can add that to your single.php (inside [the Loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop))
   with just
 * `<?php the_meta; ?>`.
 * Here’s an example of more complex code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if (post_custom('your-custom-field-name')) {
        // if the 'your-custom-field-name' field exists, do this
        echo post_custom('syour-custom-field-name');
        } else {
        // otherwise, do this
        }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * You could also take a look at [Using Custom Fields](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Custom_Fields)
   in the Codex, but that page seems a bit out of date.

 * Tnaks scribblerguy,
 * I never before used custom field so I was really confused with that.
    Now is 
   working almost great.
 * Now just no need to play/find custom fields for images.
    I want to be able to
   uplod (let say max 4 images) in post which would be shown like gallery.
 * If You have any suggestion for some plugin/solution I would be happy to read 
   Your advice.
 * Thanks

 * Try the [nextgen gallery plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/)»
   I think it will do the trick for you
