Hi, I want to display a custom field at the top of the sidebar. I thought I can grab the postmeta and hook it to
```
geodir_detail_sidebar_inside
```
. However I see that your custom fields are not saved as postmeta.

How can I retrieve the custom field value so I can output it where I want? Thank you

Hi,

Example:
```
global $post;
echo $post->post_address;
```
will show the address.

Custom fields have the geodir_ prefix.

Let us know if this helped.

Thanks

Thank you. For anyone else who is wishing to do the same, here’s the code I used. YMMV
```
add_action( 'geodir_detail_sidebar_inside', 'child_logo_sidebar_top', 5 );
function child_logo_sidebar_top() {
    global $post;
    ?>
    <div class="geodir-company_info">
        geodir_logo; ?>"
            alt="" width="" height="" border="0" />
    </div>
    <?php
}
```

Thank you, for anyone trying to work this out.
I took a copy of listing-listview.php from the plugin template directory and simply added
the code in there, copied it to the child theme directory under geodirectory.
Thanks
