Meta data doesn’t always work

    I’m not a programmer, so I don’t know if this is strange or not. I’m running 3 loops on my categories page that filters posts according to certain custom data fields using two plugins (custom field gui and AH Select custom). That part is working fine.

    I also have meta data that displays custom field data. On this part I used Scott Reilly’s “get custom field values” plugin. What’s strange is that in some of my posts, the meta value just doesn’t seem to get displayed. To see for yourself, check out:

    Does anyone know how this might happen??

    I don’t quite understand.. I looked at those two pages and at the main one and I saw the same meta tags…
    What I dont see is desription and keywords.. but that is besides the point. I also only see categories on the main page. What meta data are you referring to and can you post a page that does have what you want to compare it to one that doesnt show what you want?

    The posts on the main page are set up differently. If you look at the links above, you will notice that some of the meta data displays in the following format:
    Posted in Adweek on October 3rd, 2005 No Comments »
    which is how it is programmed to look (in category.php)
    However, some of the posts display meta data in this format:
    Posted in on No Comments »
    which is missing two data fields that are supposed to show up.

    What’s puzzling me is that these data fields are not null, but yet it’s displaying them as null.

    And the ones with no meta data, the link to the article opens a blank page, whereas the ones with the meta data open the actual article

    about:blank for ones w no meta data

    yes, my point is that the loop isn’t returning the same thing for each post. Must be some kind of bug, but I don’t know how to fix it.
