Conditional author description problem

  • Hi there,

    I’m trying to display a “standard” description for users who haven’t wirtten anything. Can you tell me why the [else] shortcode doesn’t work in this case?

    [field=author]
[field avatar]
[field author meta=user_email]
[if field=author meta=description value=empty]
C'est vide!
[else]
[field author meta=description]

    Regards.

  • You need to close your [if]. Try putting [/if] at the very end.

    [field=author]
    [field avatar]
    [field author meta=user_email]
    [if field=author meta=description value=empty]
    C’est vide!
    [else]
    [field author meta=description]
    [/if]

    Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately this doesn’t work.

    I bet there is something wrong in this part of the code :

    [if field=author meta=description value=empty]

    I have tried a lot of thing, but nothing works. Any idea?

    I have tried other stuff like this one :

    [if field=author meta=description empty=true]

    But it doesn’t work too. Any help?

    I finally figured out on how to do this :

    [field author]
[field avatar]
[field author meta=user_email]
[if exists]
  [field author meta=description]
[else]
  C'est vide!
[/if]
