 * I am trying to filter by custom fields. But when I select the custom field group
   name, nothing else happens.
 * BTW, I am running the identical plugin on two identical sites, and one shows 
   the advanced custom fields feature while the other doesnt.
 * Any help on filtering by custom fields would be really appreciated.
 * BTW, this is one powerful plugin. Well done!

 * I don’t believe I do have a ‘filter’ set up for custom (meta) fields, but I do
   have a method to display them. However, after switching to WP_Query Class, it
   has allowed me to add more filters to the plugin. There were a few things that
   I left out intentionally to add later, and meta data was one of them unfortunately.
   That and the timeline filter (…and maybe a few others) were some which required
   a certain design, and I didn’t want to over burden myself already. I do plan 
   to add it later down the road though.
 * If your just trying to display them. You might want to double check and/or triple
   check your labels and values. Everything should be fully functional to display
   it, so there’s probably a typo somewhere. Usually a common mistake.
 * Anyways, glad you enjoy the plugin. I still give Kalin most of the credit for
   creating the framework, but there’s still more to come =)

 * To filter by the custom fields isn’t currently supported, but to display them
   from each post/page you can.
 * This is the internal shortcode that I am referring to.
    [post_meta name=”custom_field_name”]–
   page/post custom field value. Correct ‘name’ parameter required

 * This kind of copy and paste from the listed short codes is really not clear.
 * Please provide a clear example, lets say for a custom field called “field-1”,
   which has a value of “value-1”.
 * How would I then proceed to create a page with only posts that have the custom
   field value for field-1=value-1?
 * Thanks

 * Actually, on second review I see what you mean.;/
 * I can add a custom field value by adding:
 * <–option value=”[post_permalink]”>[post_title] -[post_meta name=”field-1″]</option–
   >
 * What I want to do however is filter out all posts without a specific value.
 * So, show post if field-1=value-1, otherwise don’t show.
 * I notice that you have an advanced custom fields tab, but when I select it, nothing
   happens.
