Hide Empty Fields on Posts

  • 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:

    <b>Amenities</b>
    <br>

    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.
