Yep, doesn’t work for me as well. If all fields are empty it still generates HTML markup to hold the content. Running latest version of both.

*edit: Actually just looking into this more, it only seems to be with Repeater fields. Is that the case for anyone else?

Code examples:

This works:

<?php if(get_field("cabinet_or_party_leader")) : ?>
    <p class="cabinet-or-party"><span><?php the_field( "cabinet_or_party_leader" ); ?></span></p>
  <?php endif; ?>

This doesn’t work:

<?php
          if(have_rows('family_information')) : ?>
          <hr>
          <h4>Family</h4>
          <table class="info-table">
            <tbody>
              <?php while( have_rows('family_information') ): the_row() ; ?>
                <?php if(get_sub_field('marital_status')) : ?>
                  <tr>
                    <td class="title">Marital Status:</td>
                    <td><?php the_sub_field('marital_status') ?></td>
                  </tr>
                <?php endif; ?>
                <?php if(get_sub_field('spouse_name')) : ?>
                  <tr>
                    <td class="title">Spouse Name:</td>
                    <td><?php the_sub_field('spouse_name') ?></td>
                  </tr>
                <?php endif; ?>
                <?php if(get_sub_field('spouse_occupation')) : ?>
                  <tr>
                    <td class="title">Spouse Occupation:</td>
                    <td><?php the_sub_field('spouse_occupation') ?></td>
                  </tr>
                <?php endif; ?>
                <?php if(get_sub_field('children')) : ?>
                  <tr>
                    <td class="title">Children:</td>
                    <td>
                      <ul class="blank-list">
                        <?php while( have_rows('children_details') ): the_row() ; ?>
                          <li>
                            <?php if(get_sub_field('child_name')) the_sub_field('child_name') ?><?php if(get_sub_field('child_name') && get_sub_field('child_age') || get_sub_field('note')) echo ', ' ?><?php if(get_sub_field('child_age')) echo get_sub_field('child_age') ?><?php if(get_sub_field('child_age') && get_sub_field('note')) echo ', ' ?><?php if(get_sub_field('note')) the_sub_field('note') ?>
                          </li>
                        <?php endwhile; ?>
                      </ul>
                    </td>
                  </tr>
                <?php endif; ?>
                <?php if(get_sub_field('relations')) : ?>
                  <tr>
                    <td class="title">Relations:</td>
                    <td>
                      <ul class="blank-list">
                        <?php while( have_rows('relations_details') ): the_row() ; ?>
                          <li>
                            <?php if(get_sub_field('relation_name')) the_sub_field('relation_name') ?><?php if(get_sub_field('relation_name') && get_sub_field('relation_age') || get_sub_field('note')) echo ', ' ?><?php if(get_sub_field('relation_age')) the_sub_field('relation_age') ?><?php if(get_sub_field('relation_age') && get_sub_field('note')) echo ', ' ?><?php if(get_sub_field('note')) the_sub_field('note') ?>
                          </li>
                        <?php endwhile; ?>
                      </ul>
                    </td>
                  </tr>
                <?php endif; ?>
              <?php endwhile; ?>
            </tbody>
          </table>
        <?php endif; ?>

and still outputs this html:

<h4>Family</h4>
<table class="info-table">
            <tbody>
                                                                                                                        </tbody>
          </table>
