I have a maps block used in a content template which has a marker. the content template is for a singular post which has an address field. maps block dynamically puts a marker on the address in the field.

I want to conditionally hide the entire maps block if there is no address in the custom field. i.e. if there is no address listed for that post, I dont want to display the map because it will just display in the middle of nowhere

Hello, you can use a Toolset Conditional Block to accomplish this. Place a Conditional Block in your template, and add a condition to test whether the address field is not equal to a static, empty value. Then drag your Map Block into the Conditional Block contents to hide the Map block when the address field is blank. I'm attaching a screenshot here showing how to set up the condition to test for a blank value. My Field Group name is "Book Details" and the address field name is "Book Location". Let me know if you have trouble implementing this.
