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!
