Don't display a field if it is empty

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
How to not display a field (include labels etc.) if it doesn't have a value?

Solution:
You can use use the wpv-conditional shortcode to first test if the field has a value or not before outputting it.

So you would wrap the whole div contents in wpv-conditional shortcodes if you don't want the label to appear either.

Hi,

I am using the following type of code to display post fields on a single ad page;

<div class="form-group">
		<label>[wpml-string context='cred-form-Edit product-4714' name='Front derailleur']Front derailleur[/wpml-string]</label><br />
		[types field='front-derailleur'][/types]</div>

You can see an example here: hidden link

Is it possible to hide the field if it has no value?

The technique is described generally here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/conditional-html-output-in-views/

The specific format to check if a custom field is empty is described here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/conditional-html-output-in-views/checking-fields-and-other-elements-for-emptynon-empty-values/
