Custom field to display ONLY if completed

    Hi,
    I created a custom-post-type using the Pods plugin.
    One of the fields is a “website” field.
    In single-portfolio.php, I have the following code in order to display the website field info.

    <p>
<?php $website = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'website', true);?> Website: <a target="_blank" href="<?php echo $website; ?>"><?php echo preg_replace('|https?://|', '', $website ); ?></a><?php $site = preg_replace('{/$}', '', $website); ?>
</p>

    However, I would like this field / or word “Website:” to appear in the browser ONLY if the field was completed in the wp-admin. Meaning, if this particular project does not have any website info associated with it, the text “Website” should not appear at all on the page.

    I would appreciate if anyone would be able to give any insight on how to achieve this.

    Thank you!

    Try this logic block:

    <?php if ( ! empty( $website ) ) { ... } ?>

    I’m pretty new with php, is the following correct? Right now it doesn’t appear at all, even when the field is filled.

    `<p><?php if ( ! empty( $website ) ) {$website = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘website’, true);?>
    Website: <a target=”_blank” href=”<?php echo $website; ?>”><?php echo preg_replace(‘|https?://|’, ”, $website ); ?></a>
    <?php $site = preg_replace(‘{/$}’, ”, $website);} ?></p>`

    thanks!

    That’s pretty much it, yep!

    That’s pretty much wrong. You are checking the condition on a value that you have not yet initialized, thus never get into the if block at all.

    Make this
    <p>
    <?php if ( ! empty( $website ) ) {$website = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘website’, true);?>
    Website: “><?php echo preg_replace(‘|https?://|’, ”, $website ); ?>
    <?php $site = preg_replace(‘{/$}’, ”, $website);} ?></p>

    into this
    a) populate and check the value in one composite php expression
    <p>
    <?php if(!empty(($website = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘website’, true)))) {?>
    Website: “><?php echo preg_replace(‘|https?://|’, ”, $website ); ?>
    <?php $site = preg_replace(‘{/$}’, ”, $website);} ?></p>

    or more cleanly and easy to read by a human
    b)
    <p>
    <?php
    $website = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘website’, true);
    if(!empty($website)){?>
    Website: “><?php echo preg_replace(‘|https?://|’, ”, $website ); ?>
    <?php $site = preg_replace(‘{/$}’, ”, $website);} ?></p>

    Late night for me, yeah you’re right DrTech76, and I would go with the cleaner second approach.
