I am trying to:
Display a types field inside a conditional statement in a content template.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link
You may need to log in to see the problem as it's a development site.

I expected to see:
hidden link
Armenian

Instead, I got:
[types field='education-pack-0-6' output='raw'][/types]
[types field='country-language-name'][/types]

Strangely, if I place the URL shortcode in like: link the link URL comes out as it should.

So testing with this code in the content tamplate:

Outside conditional<br>
[types field='education-pack-0-6' output='raw'][/types]<br>
<a href="[types field='education-pack-0-6' output='raw'][/types]">test</a><br>
[types field='country-language-name'][/types]<br>
[wpv-conditional if="( NOT(empty($(wpcf-country-language-name))) )"]
  Inside conditional<br>
  [types field='education-pack-0-6' output='raw'][/types]<br>
  <a href="[types field='education-pack-0-6' output='raw'][/types]">test</a><br>
  [types field='country-language-name'][/types]
[/wpv-conditional]

The output is:
[php]
Outside conditional
hidden link
test
Armenian
Inside conditional
[types field='education-pack-0-6' output='raw'][/types]
test
[types field='country-language-name'][/types]
[php]
And both of the test links have the fully rendered URL in the link.

Hi Tim,

Thank you for getting in touch.

We have been experiencing quite a few issues with Divi lately. To check if the issue is coming from divi I would recommend that you temporarily swap the theme to one of the wordpress default themes and let me know if the issue is still present.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks,
Shane

Thanks Shane.

It's still giving the same output using 2019 or 2020 themes.

Hi Tim,

I must apologize for the delay in response as the forums are closed on the weekends.

Would you mind if I grabbed a copy of the site to investigate this issue for you further ?

Thanks,

Hi Tim,

The problem seems to be that there are too much shortcodes on the page to render.

What you can try is to increase your php suhosin value.

Have a look at the link below and let me know if this helps.
hidden link

Thanks,
Shane

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!

I fixed it by putting the contents of the conditional into a separate content template and embedding the shortcode to the new content template in the conditional.
