 * I have two custom fields in a post,
 * customfiled-a
    customfiled-b
 * in my single.php file, I wish to place each output in a div class …
 *     ```
       <div class=“a”>
       customfiled-a
       </div>
       ```
   
 *     ```
       <div class=“b”>
       customfiled-b
       </div>
       ```
   
 * How can I do this? I have tried `Get_post_meta()` but it prints out both as expected
   🙂

 * Have you tried it like this (inside the loop):
 *     ```
       <?php
       $customfiled_a = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'customfiled-a', true);
       if ($customfiled_a != '' ) : ?>
       <div class="a">
       <?php echo $customfiled_a; ?>
       </div>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```

 * Snap!
 * Get **single** post meta!
 * get_post_meta( $post_ID, $key , $single );
 *     ```
       <div class='a'><?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'field-a', true); ?></div>
       <div class='b'><?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'field-b', true); ?></div>
       ```

 * I have tried the two and the result comes up blank. It only seems to work with
   get_post_meta(), could I be doing something wrong?

 * Try:
 *     ```
       <?php global $post; ?>
       <div class='a'><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'customfiled-a', true); ?></div>
       <div class='b'><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'customfiled-b', true); ?></div>
       ```

 * Sorry guys, they are both working. It was an issue of “too much caching”.
 * Cleared all the caches and things are OK.
 * Thank you
