get_post_meta in sidebar

hello all,

I created a widget tab that pulls a data from a custom field but get_post_meta don’t seem to display.. How do you guys do that.. any help from you is appreciated!

Are you echoing the function?

its because your trying to use the get_post_meta outside of the loop….

<?php global $wp_query;
$postid = $wp_query?>post->ID;
echo get_post_meta($postid, 'CUSTOMFIELD', true);
?>
