How to hide custom field if it stays empty ?

Try printing the value of $Rentalcar to see what it contains when the custom field is empty.

<?php $Rentalcar = trim( get_post_meta($post->ID, "rentalcars", true) );
echo '<!--'; var_dump( $Rentalcar ); echo '-->';
if( !empty( $Rentalcar ) ) :
?>
<?php echo $Rentalcar ?>

Hi vamonos,

It looks like you’re on the right track, but what is it you’re trying to hide? If you don’t want to display the Rental-Car: label when rentalcars is empty, you can move the label inside your condition:

<?php $Rentalcar = trim( get_post_meta($post->ID, "rentalcars", true) );
if( !empty( $Rentalcar ) )  : ?>
<div class="customcontainer">Rental-Car:</div>
<?php echo $Rentalcar;
else :
  // Output the info you want if source isn't set
endif; ?>

Hi guys,

thanks for answering and for your suggested solutions.

I’ve forgot to mention:
I not only want to hide the custom field, also all classes around this field:

- li class="right"
- div class="righttitle"
- div class="rightcontent"

I tried it like you both suggested, but the field is still showing, if it’s empty:
Here’s the last try:

<?php $Rentalcar= trim( get_post_meta($post->ID, "rentalcar", true) );
echo '<!--'; var_dump( $Rentalcar); echo '-->';
if( !empty( $Rentalcar) ) :
?> <li class="right">
<div class="righttitle">Rentalcar:</div>
<div class="rightcontent">
<?php echo $Rentalcar?>
</div>

..but this has also not been successful ??
I just edited and ordered the code a bit more detailed with some classes.
I’m getting crazy with this.
This is the last feature which is missing on the page.

Thanks @all,

vamonos

Your code looks correct (although you can remove the var_dump – that’ s only for testing). Can you give us the URL of the site so we can see an example?

UPDATE: You code looks almost correct! Try this:

<?php $Rentalcar = trim( get_post_meta($post->ID, "rentalcars", true) );
if( !empty( $Rentalcar) ) : ?>
<li class="right">
  <div class="righttitle">Rentalcar:</div>
  <div class="rightcontent">
    <?php echo $Rentalcar; ?>
  </div>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>

Hi Brian ??

Thanks for your fast answer..I can’t show you the pages directly, it’s a customer’s site,
but this is all what you have to know:

The code looks nice, thanks to you.
I will test it immediately ??
I’l let you know if it’s working!

Hello again,

alright, I tried your code, but the empty fields are still showing up in the frontend.
Brian, is it possible, that you can send me just your contact-mail to the trash-box
xdqspl { at } abyssmail.com ?
I will send you the page-link, if you are still interested to have short look on that.
That would be very nice.

Thanks for info

Can you copy-paste what the var_dump actually outputs?
