I created a custom User field wpcf-custom-user-field

I'm trying to display content only if the value of this custom user field isn't empty.

I visited this page:-

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

and from that created this conditional statement:-

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types usermeta="wpcf-custom-user-field"]' ne '' )"]Custom User Field Contains A Value[/wpv-conditional]

but the text isn't displayed. I've checked the database and the field contains a value for the current user.

Not sure why it's not working. Can you advise please?

Thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - when you use [types] shortcode you do not need to prefix custom field name with 'wpcf-'.

For example:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types usermeta="user-bio"][/types]' ne '' )"]

Custom User Field Contains A Value

[/wpv-conditional]

Hi Minesh

I tired that but it still didn't work. However I noticed I had omitted to close the shortcode with [/types] - once I added that, the output appears.

Many thanks for your help
