Checkboxes conditional not working properly

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to show icons for each checkboxes field that is checked for a specific post. The checkbox conditionals I have placed in my template don't seem to be working as expected.

Solution: Be sure you have NOT selected "save 0 when unchecked" for this checkboxes group field. Then resave any posts with these checkboxes fields to update those values. In the field conditionals, don't use the "wpcf-" prefix with the field slugs.

Hi, the main thing I see here is the checkboxes field is set to "save 0 to the database" when unchecked. This setting is often problematic, and my best advice here is to save nothing when unchecked. Then resave the post to update the saved checkboxes values, and test your conditionals again. If this doesn't resolve the problem, I'll be glad to take a closer look.

Okay it looks like the slug of the field included the "wpcf-" prefix, but it's not necessary here. The slug "room-specification" is sufficient:

         [types field="room-specification" option="0" state="checked"]
            <div class="single--icon tv--icon">
                <img src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/tv.svg" class="style-svg" alt="room icon" />
                <h4>Television</h4>
            </div>
        [/types]

I made that change for all the option fields in your BB Themer Layout. Then I resaved this post in wp-admin to save the correct checkbox values: hidden link

Looks like the correct icons are displaying now. Can you confirm? You must re-save all the single Room posts to update the checkboxes and display the correct icons.
