You can test data from a standard or custom field<\/a>, a Views output or other custom shortcodes and functions. The value can be compared against a fixed value like a number, the value of another custom field, dates, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you can create conditions that check for empty values of custom fields, check for the current user’s role, or check for values in taxonomy terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inserting a Conditional block<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with an example. We have a site about cooking recipes. Each recipe displays information about preparation time, level of difficulty, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n

We want to show a message to our visitors only if a certain dish can be prepared in under 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. We add a Toolset Conditional <\/strong>block to our page. Of course, you can use multiple Conditional <\/strong>blocks on the same page or a template.<\/li>
  2. Next, we add a new block within that Conditional <\/strong>block. In this case, this will be a paragraph block but Conditional <\/strong>block can host any other block, including other conditional blocks. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n

    Setting the conditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    After adding the Conditional<\/strong> block, click the Add new conditions<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Use the dialog that appears to select what to compare, the comparison operator, and the value to compare against.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Editing your condition rules<\/figcaption><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    In this dialog, you can also set the condition to be negative, add more conditions, link conditions by AND or OR operators, and group conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Adding content to display conditionally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Next, we need to add content to display when the set conditions are met. To do that, position yourself within the Conditional <\/strong>block and add a new block with your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Checking the results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In our example, this is what our visitor will see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
