    Hi, I searched for this and looked through the wiki but nothin related.

    In expression engine I can hide any content if a custom field is empty,
    {if zip}
    This won’t show if zip field is empty, will if not empty
    {/if}
    How can I do that in WP?
    I have the custom fields tag etc but the way they show won’t work because I have php code also I want hidden…
    Can anyone help or steer me in the right direction?

    Have you read this?
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Custom_Fields
    The codex is a pretty good resource for this kind of thing

    Yes, and most alll of the plugins there…
    Its not the custom fields that are a problem, I’m trying to use a custom field to hide something else…if field is empty then stuff dont show, unless there is another way
    I thought Get Custom Field Values plugin may have the answer, and it helps but won’t do this

    Thanks

    Using the get custom fields plugin I have used the following to hide content if the field it empty (in this case the ‘info’ field):
    <?php $info = c2c_get_custom('Info');?>
    <?php if ( $info == "" ) {echo "";} else {echo "<h2 id=comments>Notes</h2><div id=info>$info</div>" ;} ?>
    Not sure if this will help but it might give someone else more ideas.

    Looks possible but where would I put a lot of info including some php tags to hide them?

    aha!
    <?php if ( (c2c_get_custom(‘image’)) ) { ?>
    blah blah blah php code etc…
    <?php } ?>

    Works perfectly. If field has something it shows, if not no show, it was leaving a broken image when empty, now its good.
