Hi There, I have been reading on how to hide empty fields on posts, but I can’t quite get it. I am new to php, so please bare with me. I tried to use the code on the page at: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/hiding-empty-fields/
but got an error. Adding the code into the page.php file would not render the page.
Hello, Please Post your code here. I will check and give the solution.
Hi There, I have the ACF in the footer of my WordPress application:

It lays out o.k. but I would rather see it in 3 columns. I was able to set it up using a table at one point, but that really did not work at all as the empty cells in the table made gaps. I can set that up again though, maybe it would be better to show it that way. Let me know. Thanks so much. -Beth
The layout is a matter for CSS. It looks like this is supposed to be a list of some kind, so mark it up as such with HTML:
<!– Begin Custom Fields –>
<ul class="amenities">
<?php if ( get_field(‘kitchen’ ) ) : ?>
<li><?php the_field(‘kitchen’); ?></li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( get_field(‘air_conditioning’ ) ) : ?>
<li><?php the_field(‘air_conditioning’); ?></li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( get_field(‘dishwasher’ ) ) : ?>
<li><?php the_field(‘dishwasher’); ?></li>
<?php endif; ?>
…
…
<?php if ( get_field(‘handicap_friendly’ ) ) : ?>
<li><?php the_field(‘handicap_friendly’); ?></li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
<!– /End Custom Fields –>
… and then use CSS to lay it out the way you like. For a list displayed in multiple columns you can use the columns CSS module.
