 * What should I be putting in the widget screen for the custom field key? I have
   tried everything …. the name, with $ before, in brackets, etc but it does not
   pick it up. I can see that the widget is being applied – because I can get the
   title, but not the custom fields….

 * Try again with the latest version of the plugin, v3.3.1. You may have been encountering
   a bug that has since been fixed.
 * The value to supply for “Custom field key” is the name you provided in the “Custom
   Fields” section when writing a page/post — which appears in the “Name” column.
   The text must match exactly.

 * Hi Scott, This is a great plugin, however, I am trying to use it in the sidebar
   widget without success.
 * I have triple checked my syntax for the “Name” of the column, but still the widget
   does not recognize.
 * Do I need to be putting anything in the template files? Am I missing something?
 * I installed, activated, went to widgets, dragged over to sidebar, enter the title,
   name, and set the post id to 0 so that it pulls the custom field that is within
   the specific post that is being viewed.
 * any suggestions?????
    thanks!

 * Everyone please try v3.3.2 of the plugin. It should at least fix [@hedua](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hedua/)’
   s problem. If anyone else still has an issue, explain the issue you’re encountering.
