Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 13,011 PointsA note should be made
when explaing the the_feild function to be sure that the student knows it comes from a plugin rather than wordpress it self

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 13,011 Pointsyeah but the thing is Zack only mention much later that the function is not included in wordpress but a result of a plugin. The student might want to use the_field() but thats not a Codex function as usually you need to do
<?php $meta_var = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'meta', true );
echo $meta_var; ?>
to get said post meta personnaly I would emphasis the use of codex functions instead of plugins
