Conditional Display logic for custom fields

    How do I display a widget on custom post pages where the value of a custom field dictates whether to display or not:

    $customfield= get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘_unavailable’, true );

    if ($customfield === ‘yes’);

    The above results in the widget not displaying at all.

    Hi @pagecrawler,

    Thanks for reaching out to our support threads. Could you please try using either of these codes?

    get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘_unavailable’, true ) === ‘yes’

    get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘_unavailable’, true ) === ‘yes’

    Thanks and please let us know if this works for you.

    Thank you for your support.

    Unfortunately the above code does not work. The widget does not appear on the front end when either of the codes are used, even when reversing the statement eg:

    get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘_unavailable’, true ) !=== ‘yes’

    Hi @pagecrawler,

    It is working on our end. But I understand we might have different set up. We will look further into this.

    Hello @pagecrawler

    I have reviewed the code snippet:

    get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_unavailable', true ) === 'yes'

    It is working correctly on my end.

    Could you please confirm if the value saved in get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_unavailable', true ) is actually 'yes'? I ask because there is a possibility that the saved value might be the boolean true instead of the string 'yes'.

    Thank you,
