Hello,

AI started with the following:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-taxonomy-archive info='description']' ne '' )"]

Which works if there are not special characters, but a description that contains an apostrophe breaks my conditional.

I found a lot of variations, and I have tried more of them. The following is an example of one:

[wpv-conditional if="('[types termmeta='mar-product-cat-desc' output='raw'][/types]' ne '')"]

I created a custom term field to replace the default product category description.

I also tried:

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-mar-product-cat-desc) ne '')"]

I am currently informing my client to not use special characters in their descriptions, but I'd like to get this working.

Please advise.

Thanks!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

This is known issue to us and there is no workaround available for now.

Please check the following errata page for more details.
=> https://toolset.com/errata/conditionals-including-special-characters-might-fail/

However, I just checked the internal ticket and I can see our Devs is suppose to offer a way to fix this and the fix is proposed but not added to current release yet. I will get back to you once I see the fix is added to in near future release.
