hi,
you should use
```
geodir_get_post_meta($postid,'geodir_instagram',true);
```
first set your $postid, e.g. with
```
global $wp_query;

$postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
```

Thanks Simone!

I just discovered this as well, please let me know if this is a bad approach==>

$post_details = geodir_get_post_info($entry[‘ID’]);
// print_r($post_details);
$replace=’**** ‘. $post_details->geodir_instagram . ‘ ***’;

Thanks this is resolved for me!
