Question

How do I use WordPress Custom Field to specify content alignment?

I have in the header:

$pagealign = get_post_meta($id, 'pagealign', false);
if (!empty($pagealign) && is_single())
 {
   if ($pagealign=="center")
     {
       //how to specify css for #pagecontent within php
     }
  }

I would recommend setting the result as a variable
share [g+] share [fb] share [tw]

     {
       $align = $pagealign
     }
  }

Then depending on what exactly you mean by align you can use that variable to define it using inline css…

so Im just guessing text-align

<div id='somediv' style='text-align:<?php echo $pagealign?>;'></div>
