Question

I am using a custom field to upload an image to my post. I now want to display this image on the post by editing the template but struggling to find out how.

My custom field is called ‘image’ but all I can seem to do is display the URL of the image when I echo it.

Is there a simple way / line of code to display this image on the post?

Thanks

I used this code to get the image

<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'image', true) ?>

obviously it is not the best and only gets the field value.

If you’re just displaying it via html you can simple do this if <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'image', true) ?> returns a URL for the image.

<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'image', true) ?>" /> 

this will use the URL you have returned to get the image.
