 * I am echoing a post meta key with the name property_type and this is outputting
   with underscores between the words. I am trying to remove these underscores using
   str_replace but I must have something wrong in my code as it is still putting
   the underscores in.
 * `<?php $key="property_type"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true ); $key
   = str_replace('_', ' ', $key);?>`
 * Any help would be great.
