WordPress : Help with displaying data from custom meta boxes

[gilgimech]

I’ve made some custom meta boxes, but I can’t get the info to display outside the loop.
I’ve tried using this but I get nothing

global $post;

$args = array('post_type' =>'post-type');

$meta = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'meta-box-slug', true);

wp_reset_query();

And I’ve tried this too

global $post;

$args = array('post_type' => 'post-type');

$obituary_query = new WP_Query($args);

while ($obituary_query->have_posts()) : $obituary_query->the_post();

$meta = get_post_meta($post->ID,  'meta-box-slug', true);

echo $meta;

endwhile;

wp_reset_query();

That does displays the data but it throws a “Headers already sent error”

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I haven’t had much luck working with custom meta boxes.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using a plugin?

[gilgimech]

No, but I may just be stupid. I just thought of something. I’ll let you know if it works.

[gilgimech]

OK, yeah I’m stupid. For some reason, I was got it in head that I had to work outside the loop.
