Code No Longer Working

I recently changed servers and now my IF statements aren’t working and it’s just displaying both snippets.

			<? if( get_field('post_label_status') == 'Sponsored' ){ ?>
				<div class="post-status-label-feed">
					<span>Sponsored Content</span>
				</div>
			<? } ?>
			<? if( get_field('post_label_status') == 'Opinion' ){ ?>
				<div class="post-status-label-feed">
					<span>Opinion Piece</span>
				</div>
			<? } ?>

It’s displaying both sponsored content and opinion pieces regardless. I have the code inside a loop and it worked previously. Any issues with PHP 7.3?

I don’t see anything in your code that would keep it from working. Not sure what’s going on. I would try using === instead of ==

<? if( get_field('post_label_status') === 'Sponsored' ){ ?>
				<div class="post-status-label-feed">
					<span>Sponsored Content</span>
				</div>
			<? } ?>
			<? if( get_field('post_label_status') === 'Opinion' ){ ?>
				<div class="post-status-label-feed">
					<span>Opinion Piece</span>
				</div>
			<? } ?>

Hi John,

I tried that as well. I finally figured out the issue… the shorthand PHP tags aren’t working.

So replacing <? with <?php worked.

That’ll do it, didn’t even notice those.
