Joomla Custom Fields Don't Work

They don't work. And they won't work. They're pretty much a trash junk feature. The developers that contribute to Joomla are TERRIBLE. There is no way to display the custom fields in the front end, so give up before you spend hours trying to get them to display like I did.
Of course the documentation on them is very poor - just like all Joomla documentation. It's written in poor English and incomplete. They don't mention that this stupid sloppily created feature doesn't do any good if you need your users to input custom fields on their articles.
