Tell us what you are trying to do?
I want to test if the body of a related post is empty.
Here's what i'm putting in the conditional:

[wpv-conditional if="('[wpv-post-body view_template='None' item='[wpv-post-field name='wpcf-current-post-id']']'
eq '' )"] empty body [/wpv-conditional]

but it's not returning anything. Can you tell me why?
Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hi, it looks like you have exceeded the maximum quotation mark nesting level here. The conditional breaks down because you have single quotes nested inside other single quotes, so it's not able to determine which ones open and which ones close. Ideally you would have single quotes nested inside double quotes or vice versa, but when you start getting beyond that depth level things get tricky. Normally the best way to get around this is to create a custom shortcode or function you can use in this conditional to avoid the need for all those nested quotes.

That was fun! Thank you!
Here's the shortcode I'm using in my wpv conditional:
function check_related_post_content() {
$post_id = do_shortcode('[types field="current-post-id"][/types]');
$queried_post = get_post($post_id);
$post_content = strlen($queried_post->post_content);
if ($post_content > 1) {
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
}
}
add_shortcode( 'post_with_library_id', 'check_related_post_content' );
