    I am trying to add a custom field using the tile-plus template. I have installed snippet and was able to get the field to show in the admin section of connections but I am not able to get it to show on my website. Everytime I enter the code from the quick fix into the card.php file it just shows the text of the code. Can you help explain exactly how this should be done?

    re: I am trying to add a custom field using the tile-plus template.

    What custom field? One that you coded from scratch or to display the text of a Custom Field from the metbox when you add a new entry?

    re: I have installed snippet and was able to get the field to show in the admin section

    Which snippet? I give allot of those out in the forums.

    re: Everytime I enter the code from the quick fix into the card.php file it just shows the text of the code.

    If you are seeing the text of the, then you are not pasting the code in between the opening and closing php tags (<?php and ?>).

    I am following the quicktip: QuickTip: Custom Field – Adding a Text Field. The snippet adds the custom field on the add new entry/manage page. That part is working just fine. If I enter the code from the second part of the QuickTip, The section of code that goes into the card.php file, that is where I am having issues. If I post between the PHP tags I get this error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘if’ The code on the line that it is referencing is this:
    echo if ( ! empty( $text ) ) ‘

    ‘ . esc_html( $text ) . ‘

    ‘;

    sorry that was missing parts of the code:

    echo if ( ! empty( $text ) ) '' . esc_html( $text ) . '';

    Oh, I see. Apologies for the misunderstanding!

    The code does need to be in between the php tags and the error is typo on my part. That line should be this:

    if ( ! empty( $text ) ) echo '<p>' . esc_html( $text ) . '</p>';

    I’ve fix the quicktip.
