title: Why isn't get_post_meta working?
body: <p>Simple Wordpress problem - get_post_meta is not retrieving custom field values. Here's the code that is pulling from the custom fields:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;img src="&lt;?php echo FCG_PLUGIN_URL; ?&gt;/scripts/timthumb.php?src=&lt;?php echo get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID, 'slider_image', true); ?&gt;&amp;h=250&amp;w=400&amp;zc=1" alt="&lt;?php echo $post_title; ?&gt;" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In production, this is the HTML I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;img alt="Post Title" src="http://***.com/wp-content/plugins/jquery-slider-for-featured-content/scripts/timthumb.php?src=/&amp;amp;h=50&amp;amp;w=80&amp;amp;zc=1"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>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?</p>
