Can't print custom field content

[Willow]

Hello again,

in the front-end submission form I’ve got name and email from advanced fields, and those are automatically populated with the logged-in users’ info. We also need to collect an additional email address (contact person) which may or may not be the event submitter. I’ve tried setting up both another Email and just a plain input field for the email address. Every other field prints ok, but not the email.

    <h3>With any questions related to this event, please contact:</h3>
<?php if ( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'contact_name', true ) ) : ?>
    <?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'contact_name', true ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'contact_email', true ) ) : ?>
    ">
        <?php get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'contact_email', true ); ?>
    
<?php endif; ?>

Tried renaming the contact_email field to email_address in case the name clashes with something else, but no luck. What am I not seeing here?

Thanks!

You have

<?php get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'contact_email', true ); ?>

instead of

<?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'contact_email', true ); ?>

So embarrassing, I clearly need a break.

Thank you!!!
