I need to add some default extra data to my event(s), so naturally I thought the event meta would be the perfect solution. I tried adding the following example code found Here and copied it to custom_functions.php file and the file ws uploaded here: wp-content/uploads/espresso.
Have I missed something out? or done something wrong? Can you help?

Hi,
The event meta is added via the event editor. To display the event meta, you need to add the shortcode to the event or the
<?php echo do_shortcode('[EE_META type="event_meta" name="my_meta_key"]'); ?>
to the event_registration_display or event_list_display templates. You could probably add that php code elsewhere as well (like a post/page template) though I have never tried it.

Hi Dean,
I have added the shortcode [EE_META type="event_meta" name="my_meta_key"] exactly as stated on the example page above into the event editor, it is still not working.

I do not wish to add the PHP code as I only want the event_meta data to appear on certain events and not all.

Hi,
Did you change the “my_meta_key” to the name of your meta key field?
For example, if you go to the meta tags and add something into the event_hastag meta key field, you would need to use the shortcode
[EE_META type="event_meta" name="event_hashtag"]
