Hi,
How do I display alternative text when the custom field is empty in a shortcode?
For example, I want to use the text "No date has been set" when the event date is empty?

DATE: [types field="event-date"][/types] | ADRESS: [types field="event-location"][/types]

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

You can use the [wpv-conditional] shortcode to display conditional content.

Here is the Doc you should follow to check empty/non-empty values with example:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/legacy-features/views-plugin/checking-fields-and-other-elements-for-emptynon-empty-values/

ok, So if I understand, I do it like this?

[wpv-conditional if="( empty($(wpcf-event-date)) )"]
No date has been set[/wpv-conditional]
DATE: [types field="event-date"][/types] | ADRESS: [types field="event-location"][/types]

It should be like this:

[wpv-conditional if="( empty($(wpcf-event-date)) )"]
DATE:  No date has been set
[/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-event-date) ne  '')"]
DATE: [types field="event-date"][/types] 
[/wpv-conditional]
| ADRESS: [types field="event-location"][/types]

One condition is for empty and one condition is for not empty.

Can you please share problem URL where the date is setup and not setup and admin access details.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
