Tell us what you are trying to do?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/conditional-html-output-in-views/using-custom-functions-in-conditions/

I am wanting to do something like this:

function wpv_conditional_post_has_content($type, $object) {
$return = 0;
if ( $type == 'posts' ) {
if ( empty( $object->post_content ) ) {
$return = 0;
} else {
$return = count($object->post_content);
}
}
return $return;
}

so that I can do a conditional like this:

[wpv-conditional if="( wpv_conditional_post_has_content() eq '0' )"]
This post has no content[/wpv-conditional]

But instead, I want it to determine if the "post" has other posts underneath it from a hierarchical perspective (NOT a Types post relationship perspective). So essentially, does this page have pages organized underneath it.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hi, one way to approach this is to use a View of your CPT filtered by Post Parent (not Post Relationship), where the parent post is whatever parent post you want to test. Depending on how you have things set up, the parent post could be the current post, or the current post in the loop, or you could provide a post ID in a shortcode attribute, etc.

Then in the Loop Output area of this View, you can use the items found and no items found sections to include different content based on the number of results. If results are found, you know the current post has children. If not, you know the current post has no children.

If this approach doesn't work for you, we can work on a conditional approach with shortcodes.
