How to get custom fields from get_post using single page?

I have a news page where it display all the news and there is a read more button with a permalink function. When it is clicked it will redirect the user into single page news for more information although I can’t query the custom fields.

post type: news
meta: news

  1. Here are some things you can try:

    Make sure your stuff is in a post loop

    http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop

    <?php 
if ( have_posts() ) {
    while ( have_posts() ) {           
       $test = get_custom_field('picture-description', TRUE);
       the_title();
       echo '<br/>';
       the_content();
    } // end while
} // end if
?>

    Try an alternative function

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta

    get_post_meta($post_id, 'picture-description', TRUE);

    Ensure you are in the right file.

    For a post single the naming convention of the file should be
    something like single.php or single-posttype.php

    enter image description here

    Let me know if any of these things work.
