   > >ID, ‘price’ ); else cp_get_price( $post->ID, ‘cp_price’ ); ?>
 * How can I do this?
 * I did just try adding the code like this:
 * if ( get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘price’, true ) ) cp_get_price( $post->ID, ‘price’);
   else cp_get_price( $post->ID, ‘cp_price’ );
 * but it did not work ie: it does not call up the price and display it in the page
 * Any help will be greatly appreciated – thank you
