I am currently working on a news website and using the Wordpress archive feature to display all my posts in a feed (when you click on the post titles you are taken to the source website).I need to add another piece of metadata to these posts (the source of the news article)..
This is what it currently looks like, I need the source inline with the date and author.
I have used the advanced custom fields plugin to create a custom meta box for each post in which I can input the source of the article. This seems to be working fine, but I can not figure out how to display this on the archive page.
This is the code I added to the loop-archive.php because that's where I want the custom field to display. But nothing happened. I got this code from many different websites which make it seem easy to display your custom metadata. (did this all on a child theme, the theme I'm using is Newspaper)
How do I fix this?
