Alex – this post was EXACTLY what I’ve been searching hours for. But it didn’t work the way I wanted.

Nick – the code you wrote above worked perfect.

Basically, I needed a way to dynamically show custom fields from all my posts with they key ‘itunes’. I’m not a big coder, so I was confused why my code worked on my 404 pages (when I tested it), but didn’t show on my Music Page.

Whenever I tried to return a wp_query all the links were blank. Until I added your code to the page.

You guys are great. Thanks!

Hi Alex, thanks a lot for this great feature!! Can you tell me how to include a category comparison (in order to list only those posts having the same custom field key AND value as well as the same category)? And how can I exclude the current post from the list? I’d be very glad about any hints ) Cheers, Felix

Praise the Lord! I’ve been up for about 30 odd hours coding, and none of the solutions like this were working for me. You’ve saved my life and my state of mental health, LOL.

The only part which was not quite right is that it also posts the current post, which i did not want, so i posted the ID of the post and made it invisible with CSS, LOL

Hi Alex.

Thank you so much for sharing this great feature. I searched all over the web but kept stumbling on to those tedious custom field “mood” tutorials (you’d think one was enought), but finally I find yours. It’s also really great that you explain what is going on.

Miklas.

P.S. Shouldn’t there be an “echo” in front of “$cur_post_value ;” so the value is printed

Great tutorial, I tried and it works, but I would like to know how to exclude from the list the current post.

cheers

@devdarsh – I’ll update the post in the next couple of days to include a category comparison too – great idea!

The code looks awesome and is working fine. Can you tell me how to include a category name(and id) to compare as well?
So both should have a value to get a result.
I am using wp2.7.1
