You need to quote the URL:</p> <pre><code>[php] &lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;&lt;?php echo get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID, &#39;file_attachment&#39;, true); ?&gt;&quot; title=&quot;Download&quot;&gt;Download&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-field-custom-field-file-upload-displayed-on-singlephp#post-39116 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:52:15 +0000 David Smith 39116@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi uncgure,</p> <p>Yep, my response was intended to be a starting point. Glad you were able to get this working. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-field-custom-field-file-upload-displayed-on-singlephp#post-39092 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 10:03:43 +0000 uncgure 39092@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks David! That at least makes it display the custom field value (which is currently just a text-string, but I needed to convert to an URL).</p> <p>I did some additional tweaks, but nothing fancy and it seemed to work with this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href=&lt;?php echo get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID, &#39;file_attachment&#39;, true); ?&gt;&gt;Download&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-field-custom-field-file-upload-displayed-on-singlephp#post-38915 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 17:34:21 +0000 David Smith 38915@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi uncgure,</p> <p>1 - When you view the post in the admin, can you see that the custom field has a value?<br /> 2 - You might consider retrieving the custom field like this:</p> <pre><code>[php] &lt;?php echo get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID, &#39;file_attachment&#39;, true); ?&gt;</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-field-custom-field-file-upload-displayed-on-singlephp#post-38893 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:39:05 +0000 uncgure 38893@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am using WP 3.2.1, and Gravity Forms 1.5.3. No other plugins and currently using Theme "twenty eleven 1.2"<br /> ===========================<br /> What I am doing seems to be pretty easy, but I may be missing something.</p> <p>I created a GForm using the following POST Fields:<br /> 'Post Title<br /> Post Body<br /> Post Excerpt<br /> Post Category<br /> Custom Field'</p> <p>The "Custom Field" in the Gravity Forms form has been named "File Upload", file type="FileUpload", Custom Field Name="file_attachment"</p> <p>When users complete the form, their information is placed in the Post Drafts, including their PDF file, but when I publish this - everything BUT the Custom Field is displayed.</p> <p>I went into the "single.php" file of twenty eleven 1.2 and added this piece of code:</p> <pre><code>[php] &lt;p&gt;&lt;?php $customfield = get_post_custom_values(&quot;file_attachment&quot;); if (isset($customField[0])) { echo &#39;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;&#39;.$customField[0].&#39;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Download Now!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&#39;; } ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</code></pre> <p>Nothing (in the Custom Fields) displays... What am I missing? </p>
