Simple Wordpress problem - get\_post\_meta is not retrieving custom field values. Here's the code that is pulling from the custom fields:

```
<img src="<?php echo FCG_PLUGIN_URL; ?>/scripts/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'slider_image', true); ?>&h=250&w=400&zc=1" alt="<?php echo $post_title; ?>" />

```

In production, this is the HTML I get:

```
<img alt="Post Title" src="http://***.com/wp-content/plugins/jquery-slider-for-featured-content/scripts/timthumb.php?src=/&amp;h=50&amp;w=80&amp;zc=1">

```

You can see the src= point in the string is empty - as if there is nothing posting from it. I have isolated and echo'd just the get\_post\_meta and it's a whitespace. I am 100% sure it's named correctly within the post - is there something glaring I'm missing here?
