[Resolved] Make a conditional output in Views that only shows items based on checkbox state

I'm using WP Views to make a page list and need to only list pages that has a specific checkbox checked within a checkbox group.
Here is the code, that I would expect to work, but nothing is shown:

[wpv-conditional if="([types field='scope' option='3'][/types] ne 'block-robots')"]
	<li><em><u>hidden link</u></em></li>
[/wpv-conditional]

See attached image to see the checkbox group definition.
Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi,

Welcome to Toolset support.

I suggest that you wrap the Types shortcode in single quotes inside the condition — without them it never evaluates:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='scope' option='3'][/types]' ne 'block-robots' )"]
    <li><em><u>hidden link</u></em></li>
[/wpv-conditional]

For further reading:

Also, maybe this would be a simpler way:

[types field='scope' option='3' state='unchecked']<li><em><u>hidden link</u></em></li>[/types]

Note this hides items in the output only; the View still queries them, so found counts and pagination include them.

Thanks.
