This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to use conditional HTML to display a list element, but only if the "title" custom field is blank.
Solution: Use the following conditional format to prevent extra list elements from being displayed if the field is blank:
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-title) ne '' )"] <li>[types field='title'][/types]</li> [/wpv-conditional]

Hi, yes you should be able to use a conditional block or conditional shortcode to test if the field value is NOT equal to "blank". If you're using conditional shortcodes, the syntax looks like this:
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-title) ne '' )"] <li>[types field='title'][/types] </li> [/wpv-conditional]
I am attaching an example of the conditional builder settings you can see here.
Aloha Christian,
My apologies for the slow reply.
I love both your solutions, esp. the second because in theory, it should remove the < li > element altogether.
Sadly, I can't seem to get it to work. The empty < li > still shows up.
Any ideas?
