## Beschrijving

The “Current Post Shortcode” plugin allows you to display post titles and custom
field values using simple shortcodes. You can display the current post’s title or
meta information, or specify a post ID to retrieve data from a specific post.

#### Display Current Post Title and Meta Information:

 * **Post Title:** `[current_post]`  Outputs the current post title, e.g., “Hello
   World”
 * **Post Meta** (Custom Field): `[current_post meta="custom_field"]`  Outputs the
   value of the custom field

#### Display Data from a Specific Post ID:

 * **Post Title:** `[current_post id="123"]`  Outputs the title of the post with
   ID “123”
 * **Post Meta** (Custom Field): `[current_post id="123" meta="custom_field"]`  
   Outputs the value of the custom field in the post with ID “123”

#### Display Fallback Meta Value:

    ```
    [current_post meta="custom_field" default="Default Value"]   Displays "Default Value" if the custom field is empty
    ```

#### Display Default Value for Zero Meta Value:

    ```
    [current_post meta="custom_field" default="Default Value" skip="true"]   Displays "Default Value" if the custom field value is zero
    ```
