# Tell us what you are trying to do?

I'm trying to show only one of two possible buttons based on a Custom Field called "estatus"

this used to work:

[wpv-conditional if=" ( ( $(estatus) eq 'aprobado' ) ) " ]CAN'T EDIT[/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if=" ( ( $(estatus) ne 'aprobado' ) ) " ]CAN EDIT[/wpv-conditional]

# Is there any documentation that you are following?

I looked at https://toolset.com/2021/08/5-advanced-uses-of-toolsets-conditional-block-in-wordpress/

but my custom post type does not appear for selection on the Edit Conditions window.

Only selecting "other post" and selecting one of the custom posts works, but I need to select the status from the current post in the loop.

What could be wrong here?

Best regards

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Is the conditional statement you shared working or not?

[wpv-conditional if=" ( ( $(estatus) eq 'aprobado' ) ) " ]CAN'T EDIT[/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if=" ( ( $(estatus) ne 'aprobado' ) ) " ]CAN EDIT[/wpv-conditional]

If no - can you please share problem URL and admin access details and what is you expected output.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

No further help needed, maybe our problem was a caching issue (altough we don't have a caching plugin installed)

Now the conditionals work as expected.

Thanks.
