Yes you’ll still have to close your loop. The code sample I provided should be used as the core functionality of what you’re trying to accomplish, but it still needs to be nested within proper WordPress syntax. Try closing your loop, if you are still having trouble after this, let me know and I’ll see if I can help you out.

I have tried to get this working, but i can’t!
I try to implement it to my thematic child theme and i have this:
Should there be an endwhile; somewhere?

function get_my_fantastic_events() {
$wp_query = null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query(‘showposts=3&cat=1&paged=’.$paged);

if($wp_query->have_posts()):
while($wp_query->have_posts()):$wp_query->the_post();
global $post;

// access meta information referencing the global post object
$date = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), ‘date’, true);
echo $date;
}
add_action(‘thematic_betweenmainasides’, ‘get_my_fantastic_events’);

My first impression is that you’re not updating the “single.php” file with the appropriate code to display your custom field. WordPress utilizes two separate pages to display the “index” content (usually index.php) and single “page” or “post” content (usually single.php). If you aren’t already, try adding the get_post_meta function to the “single.php” file and see if that displays your tag line correctly.

If it doesn’t, or you’ve done this already and it still doesn’t work, let me know. I’m more than happy to help you try and figure this out.

my question is is it possible to create a get_post_meta on the single page to show the tagline of the blog page?

I’ve been searching for two weeks and haven’t found a solution to this, I’m still learning so please if you have time give me a hand with this problem.

Thank’s and great blog
