Hi

I’m trying to hide empty fields, but can’t I seem to figure out where to put the code. I have found the article about how to hide the empty fields.

I’m using DIVI builder
I’ve created a project custom post and used ACF.
I have a repeater field called calender_info and I only want is to be displayed if a date is filled. I also need this to be applied to other things on the page, but i’ll start with this, as it is more crucial

Please explain this to me like I was 5 y/o! As I am quite new to this, thanks.

Here’s my code for single-project.php

<?php

get_header();

$is_page_builder_used = et_pb_is_pagebuilder_used( get_the_ID() );

$show_navigation = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘_et_pb_project_nav’, true );

?>

<div id=”main-content”>

<?php if ( ! $is_page_builder_used ) : ?>

<div class=”container”>
<div id=”content-area” class=”clearfix”>
<div id=”left-area”>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<article id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>>

<?php if ( ! $is_page_builder_used ) : ?>

<div class=”et_main_title”>
<h1 class=”entry-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<span class=”et_project_categories”><?php echo get_the_term_list( get_the_ID(), ‘project_category’, ”, ‘, ‘ ); ?></span>
</div>

<?php
$thumb = ”;

$width = (int) apply_filters( ‘et_pb_portfolio_single_image_width’, 1080 );
$height = (int) apply_filters( ‘et_pb_portfolio_single_image_height’, 9999 );
$classtext = ‘et_featured_image’;
$titletext = get_the_title();
$thumbnail = get_thumbnail( $width, $height, $classtext, $titletext, $titletext, false, ‘Projectimage’ );
$thumb = $thumbnail[“thumb”];

$page_layout = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘_et_pb_page_layout’, true );

if ( ” !== $thumb )
print_thumbnail( $thumb, $thumbnail[“use_timthumb”], $titletext, $width, $height );
?>

<?php endif; ?>

<div class=”entry-content”>
<?php
the_content();

if ( ! $is_page_builder_used )
wp_link_pages( array( ‘before’ => ‘<div class=”page-links”>’ . esc_html__( ‘Pages:’, ‘Divi’ ), ‘after’ => ‘</div>’ ) );
?>
</div> <!– .entry-content –>

<?php if ( ! $is_page_builder_used ) : ?>

<?php
if ( in_array( $page_layout, array( ‘et_full_width_page’, ‘et_no_sidebar’ ) ) ) {
et_pb_portfolio_meta_box();
}
?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( ! $is_page_builder_used || ( $is_page_builder_used && ‘on’ === $show_navigation ) ) : ?>

<div class=”nav-single clearfix”>
<span class=”nav-previous”><?php previous_post_link( ‘%link’, ‘<span class=”meta-nav”>’ . et_get_safe_localization( _x( ‘←’, ‘Previous post link’, ‘Divi’ ) ) . ‘</span> %title’ ); ?></span>
<span class=”nav-next”><?php next_post_link( ‘%link’, ‘%title <span class=”meta-nav”>’ . et_get_safe_localization( _x( ‘→’, ‘Next post link’, ‘Divi’ ) ) . ‘</span>’ ); ?></span>
</div><!– .nav-single –>

<?php endif; ?>

</article> <!– .et_pb_post –>

<?php
if ( ! $is_page_builder_used && comments_open() && ‘on’ === et_get_option( ‘divi_show_postcomments’, ‘on’ ) )
comments_template( ”, true );
?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php if ( ! $is_page_builder_used ) : ?>

</div> <!– #left-area –>

<?php
if ( in_array( $page_layout, array( ‘et_full_width_page’, ‘et_no_sidebar’ ) ) ) {
et_pb_portfolio_meta_box();
}
?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div> <!– #content-area –>
</div> <!– .container –>

<?php endif; ?>

</div> <!– #main-content –>

<?php

get_footer();

I don’t see any ACF code in your template.

The basic usage would be

if (get_field('your_field_name')) {
  // if the field has content then show the field
  the_field('your-field-name');
}
