Hi,
I have a CPT called "Books". it has a custom taxonomy called "Publisher".
I am creating a table to show some information about the books, and want the whole table row to not show when the book does not have a publisher (i.e. when there is no publisher taxonomy term associated with this post)

I used the conditional below, but it did not work. it still showed me the table row, with the word "Publisher:" in one cell, and an empty cell next to it.

[wpv-conditional if="( NOT(CONTAINS(#(publisher),'')) )"]
        <tr>
              <td class="text-nowrap">Publisher: </td>
              <td>[wpv-post-taxonomy type="publisher"]</td>
        </tr>
      [/wpv-conditional]

I use the same concept to test for some other data in the post and hide some rows when their associated custom fields are empty.

can you please advise a solution?
thanks

Hello,

You can try below shortcodes:

[wpv-conditional if="('[wpv-post-taxonomy type='publisher' format='slug' ]' ne '' )"]
There is a term assigned to current post....
[/wpv-conditional]

Checking if a post has at least one term assigned

Hi,
Yes the code you provided works. I had found it on an old view that I created. however, when I use the current plugin graphical user interface, I get the strange code I posted in the original question.
Thanks.
