making form part of custom field?

    Hi, I have a form that uploads a video (file) and I have used the custom field "video". When I check for it, it does not show up when I run the code the_meta(); . No video custom field shows up.

    What might I be doing wrong to make this uploaded file not assigned to the custom field video?

    Thanks.

    Ok, I have found this code: $meta_value = gform_get_meta($entry_id, $meta_key);

    So I now have just to see if it works:

    if ( gform_get_meta(get_the_ID(), 'video', true) ) :
    ?> <h1>works</h1> <?php
    endif; ?>

    Right now, I do not get 'works'.

    Not sure what I need to do to get to show the form that shows this custom field of video.

    You've passed data to a WordPress post that has a custom field? If you want to get said custom field to show on your site, you need to look at WordPress' custom field details:
