Hi,
I have a CPT called "Persons" and another CPT called "Articles". the Persons CPT is a parent to the Articles CPT.

Some articles have featured images and some articles don't.

So I want to show the article featured image when there is one, but show the person's image when there is no featured image for the article.

I used the following code to show the parent featured image:

[wpv-post-featured-image size="medium" id="$person"]

However, I am trying now to show the article featured image when it is present.

so i modified the code to be like this:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-featured-image]' eq '' )"]
[wpv-post-featured-image size="medium" id="$person"]
[/wpv-conditional]

But when I upload a featured image to the article, nothing show up.

can you please help me fixing the conditional so that:
- when the article has a featured image, show it, or
- when there is no featured image, show the parent image.

thanks in advance.
