In a view i need to show some icons related to a checkbox selection in a custom field
I've putted this conditional output in a view but in frontend I see the icon in every post (even if not selected)

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-icone) eq '1' )"]<img src="hidden link" width="40" height="40" class="alignleft size-full" />[/wpv-conditional]

Hi, we recommend you do not choose "Save 0 to the database" for checkbox fields. This setting can produce some confusing results, so we recommend you choose "Save nothing" instead. See the post here for more information about this:
https://toolset.com/errata/checkboxes-that-save-0-are-interpreted-as-checked-by-views/

Once you have changed the setting for this custom field, you should resave all the posts that use this checkboxes group. This will update the saved values correctly, then you can use conditionals to test the checkbox values.
