 * Hi,
 * Thanks for a great plugin.
 * Small issue, though:
 * I can edit custom fields just fine using
 * `<?php editable_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'ToDo', 'textarea'); ?>`
 * But if ToDo is empty, I can’t enter new data.
 * Hope you can help. Thanks in advance 🙂

 * I’ve added the [empty] placeholder. Try the [Development Version](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/front-end-editor.zip)(
   1.6a5).
