    I try just one hour and not get ahead …

    If a field contains no value, it should be display nothing. The code:

    [pass field acf_date="acf_birthday"]
[b]Birthday:[/b] [field acf_date="acf_birthday"]
[/pass][br /]

    If the “Birthday” field is not empty, it produces:
    Birthday: 07/06/2015

    If the “Birthday” field is empty, it produces:
    Birthday:

    But if the Birthday field is empty, it should be display nothing. Also no newline. (Empty line) Is this possible? Many thanks for your effort.

    Hello,

    The [pass] shortcode is only used to pass values to {FIELD} tags. To check the condition of a field, you can use [if] like this:

    [if field="acf_birthday"]
  [b]Birthday:[/b] [field acf_date="acf_birthday"][br]
[/if]

    This will display nothing if the field value is empty.

    About the new line – as described in the documentation, the post content’s auto-formatting can add unwanted <br> and <p> tags. You can wrap a section with the [raw] shortcode to protect it.

    [raw]
  ..this section will not be auto-formatted.
[/raw]

    This feature can be enabled under Settings.

    I hope that helps!

    Yes that’s it! I had already tested with [if], but take the [raw] shortcode placed around everything … How silly of me.

    Your plugin is great. Thank you!
