Hi everyone,
I have a section I want to hide if the fields are empty. I already read the existing threads to similar problems but couldn’t adapt it to mine. Hope someone could point me in the right direction.

<?php $feature = get_field('section_feature'); if($feature) : ?>
		<section class="bg-blue text-white">
			<div class="container">
				<div class="arrow-down pb-5"></div>
			</div>
			<div class="container pb-5">
				<h3 class="text-green"><?php echo $feature['headline']; ?></h3>
				<div class="row">
					<div class="col-md-6"><?php echo $feature['text_left']; ?></div>
					<div class="col-md-6"><?php echo $feature['text_right']; ?></div>
				</div>
			</div>
		</section>
		<?php endif; ?>

Thanks in advance.

I am assuming by looking at your code that your using a group field. In this case you need to check the sub field values because the field will always be an array that is not empty.

$feature = get_field('section_feature');
if ($feature['headline']) {
  ...
}

Absolutely. That did the trick of course.
Thank you, John. Great support as always.
