 * I have search high and low for some basic documentation. I’m not talking in-depth,
   just something simple to show you how to get off the ground displaying your plugins.
 * Do the authors of the plugin think we’re supposed to figure out the template 
   tags ourselves? How…?

 * Not a bad question.
 * I think they just expected you to notice that it puts all of its data as post
   meta info, and you would just use the normal get_post_meta functions to retrive
   them.
 * If you want to throw a quick example together, I’d be happy to add it to [the fork on GitHub](https://github.com/rssready/WP-More-Fields).

 * Yes– I eventually figured it out. I can throw up a quick Gist in a sec…

 * Great. I’m in the middle of something, but I will work it into the Read Me very
   soon.

 * Hello everyone,
    I also could use some help using this plugin as I am not a very
   good php programmer.
 * Following the link posted by [@ankurt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ankurt/)
   I assume that if I create a Field called say “Technical specs” I can then add
   this to my code:
 * echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), ‘technical_specs’, 1 ); – and it will work?
 * Any help appreciated,
    Alex

 * One thing to remember: you have to make sure the “Custom Field Key” is technical_specs.
   Otherwise, it won’t work.
 * Also, ankurts snippet works only if you are inside “The Loop”.

 * Yes.
 * The “1” means return a string as opposed to an array.
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta)
 * EDIT: yes, only works inside loop because of get_the_ID(), but you can swap this
   with $post->ID or use any ID you want.

 * I have added a “Working with More Fields in templates” to the readme.
 * As always, any additions you’d like to make would be welcome.
