Tell us what you are trying to do?
I filter information based on a parameter that is set in the URL. If someone tries to visit the page(s) and the URL parameter is absent, the view loops through all posts and displays all of them. I'm looking to see if there's a way to check if the URL parameter exists and if it's not present/has a null value either execute a redirect or stop the view from rendering.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
No.
Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hi Josh,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

What you can do is to use our conditional code to do this.

Here is an example of what i'm referring to.


[wpv-conditional if="('[wpv-search-term param="urlparameter"]' ne '' )"]

Display something if the parameter is filled

[/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if="('[wpv-search-term param="urlparameter"]' eq '' )"]

Display something if the parameter is not filled

[/wpv-conditional]

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane
