Question

I need to modify this code to show get custom fields just for the post on which the user currently is.

// this needs to be modified
<?php
global $post;
$args = array('category' => 37, 'post_type' => 'post' ); 
$postslist = get_posts( $args ); 
foreach ($postslist as $post) : setup_postdata($post); 
?> 
// end this needs to be modified

<?php if( get_post_meta($post->ID, "Title", true) ): ?>
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "Title", true); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

Because this will be included, I cannot make it just with get_post_meta.

Many thanks!

This ignores the loop and only shows the custom field for the current page, notice get_the_ID():

<?php if( get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), "Title", true) ): ?>
    <p><?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), "Title", true); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php
global $post;
$args = array('category' => 37, 'post_type' => 'post' ); 
$postslist = get_posts( $args ); 
foreach ($postslist as $post){
    setup_postdata($post);
}
?> 

And this will output all custom fields named “Title” from within the loop:

<?php
global $post;
$args = array('category' => 37, 'post_type' => 'post' ); 
$postslist = get_posts( $args ); 
foreach ($postslist as $post){
    setup_postdata($post);

    echo('<p>'.get_post_meta($post->ID, "Title", true).'</p>');
}
?>
