This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
My HTML Conditional does not work, even though visually the syntax is correct and it should expectedly work.
This is the syntax example:
[wpv–conditional if="( '[wpv-post-taxonomy type='related' format='slug']' ne '' )"] NOTHING[/wpv–conditional]
Solution:
Sometimes it can happen that unexpected hidden formatted text gets copied when you copy the code from a Webpage.
It's a good idea to convert into plain text before inserting into the editors if you experience unexplainable failure of HTML conditions (and other HTML) in general.
Often it's good to just generate the conditions using the GUI if possible.
That'll ensure a pure output that is generated with bare text.

I am trying to:
Use the wpv-post-taxonomy shortcode to test if a post has at least one term assigned.
using this doc:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/conditional-html-output-in-views/displaying-taxonomies-conditionally/
here is my code:
[wpv–conditional if="( '[wpv-post-taxonomy type='related' format='slug']' ne '' )"] NOTHING[/wpv–conditional]
Note: 'related' is the slug for my custom taxonomy for the custom post type I am using on this page
Instead, I got:
unparsed shortcode output to the screen.
That's strange, as it works just fine locally when following the DOC at https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/conditional-html-output-in-views/displaying-taxonomies-conditionally/#one.
I think your code has a mistake since the exact copy of it fails as well with me locally.
This is your code:
[wpv–conditional if="( '[wpv-post-taxonomy type='related' format='slug']' ne '' )"] NOTHING [/wpv–conditional]
This is the code in the DOC:
[wpv-conditional if="('[wpv-post-taxonomy type='foreign-language' format='slug' ]' ne '' )"]
WHATEVER
[/wpv-conditional]
The only difference I was able to find with diff checker are a few spaces in the conditional.
And a very confusing difference between your [wpv–conditional, and mine, [wpv-conditional, which are both identical, but not shown as identical by diff checker, and your version ([wpv–conditional) breaks.
Whatever the difference is, I cannot spot it, but if you copy my version ([wpv-conditional) it will work.
Can you spot the difference?
I can't, but this seems to be the issue after all.
