Hello. Great plugin that is almost working perfectly. I’ll submit each problem as a separate topic.
HIDING EMPTY FIELDS/DISPLAYING FIELDS W/VALUE.
The following example doesn’t work. It’s supposed to display the label and the form value if there is a value:
<?php if( get_field('field_name') ): ?>
<p>My field value: <?php the_field('field_name'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
This code was taken from your documentation page: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/how-to/hiding-empty-fields/
When I use the above code, nothing appears even though there is value in the field I’ve specified in the code. Is there any other code that I can use that will get this to work?
Hi @jimario
Can you please debug the data like so:
<?php echo '<pre>';
print_r( get_field('field_name') );
echo '</pre>';
die; ?>
You may see that there is no data loaded. If so, please confirm where you are loading the data from. A post? A user, etc.
I placed the above code in a template file and it broke the template. The data is coming from a field added to a user’s profile. While editing the profile on user-edit.php, I can see that the data has successfully saved.
The problem is that the hide/unhide code referenced in my original post doesn’t really pull and unhide the data and its label.
<?php if( get_field('street_address_address') ): ?>
<p>My real address: <?php the_field('street_address_address'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
The code above shows how I’ve coded my template. If it were to work, it should say:
My real address: 4027 e. kyle
But instead nothing shows. Here is the actual page:
http://choochooclan.com/surrogate/?author=10
The label and data should show up under the photo/ID #.
Would it be easier for you to solve if I gave you ftp and admin acecess?
Hi @jimario
If you are loading data from a user’s profile, you will need to correctly follow the steps in this tutorial:

Thanks

I finally got it to work:
This is the code I’m using:
<?php if( get_the_author_meta('street_address_address', $curauth->ID) != '') :?>
<dt><div class="thelabels"></div>Street Address: <?php echo $curauth->street_address_address; ?></dt>
<?php endif;?>
