   set yp at the bottom of the post above the author shortcode?

 * Hi [@andrew40](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrew40/),
 * I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.
 * First of all you have to create [child theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   of Travelify theme and then add that meta tag code in the child theme file where
   you want to display it.
 * I am not sure what you meant by “custom fields set yp at the bottom of the post
   above the author shortcode”.
 * Best Regards,
    Vinod Dalvi

 * Thank you, I have already done this.
 * I am assuming you are meaning me to place it within the functions.php file and
   in the single-post and achieve loop?
 * I have managed to create the custom fields on the post at the bottom.
 * In the codex it uses this style to style them:
 *     ```
       .post-meta {font-variant: small-caps; color: maroon; }
       .post-meta-key {color: green; font-weight: bold; font-size: 110%; }
       ```
   
 * which i have added to stylesheet in child theme. Unfortunately it has no effect
   is this over ridden somewhere?
