# get_post_meta problem

 * Hi all,
 * Having a bit of an unusual problem relating to get_post_meta.
    This function 
   was originally working, then I moved to a Mac OS X server and upgraded to the
   latest WordPress (2.9.2). (PHP config appears to be similar)
 * For some reason, get_post_meta is no longer working.
    This is the code I’m using,
   which is located inside the WordPress loop, inside my page.php template file.`
   echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'realTitle', true);`
 * If I try echoing $post->ID, I get the correct post ID. Even if I replace $post-
   >ID with the actual page number I get no results.
    The same is true if I try 
   using the_meta(); instead of get_post_meta();
 * Any insight and help would be greatly appreciated as I’m a little confused!
 * Thanks,
 * David

 * Rather bizarrely this has rectified itself.
    I suspect something to do with cache
   files, APC and wp-cache.

 * Hi,
 * I have the same problem even with get_the id function. MySQL Tables are OK 3 
   of my products contain pictures. No images display.
 * Any ideas ?
