Hi Team,

I would like to use Pages to act as various templates, but because each template will have different types of custom fields, is there a way to conditionally hide them at the PHP/server level so that the custom fields do not even get rendered (then hidden)?

I have hundreds of custom fields and the performance of loading each page with all of the custom fields loaded, but then conditionally hidden by CSS or other methods seem to be cumbersome.

Is there a way to do this at the backend/code/server level via PHP so that they don't even get rendered on the frontend unless we configure it to?

Please let me know if this makes sense, or if you have any questions. Thanks!

Hello,

I suggest you try the [wpv-conditional] shortcode to display/hide those specific custom fields, see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/conditional-html-output-in-views/
Conditional HTML Output in Views

This shortcodes works as other WordPress shortcodes in server side.
