# Event Manager – Conditional Custom Attribute

 * I have created a custom attribute: #_ATT{Registration}
    The value will be a URL.
 * Because I do not want an empty hyperlink on any event without registrations URL,
   I need to hide the HTML if the value is blank.
 * I can get the link to display with the following:
    `<a href='#_ATT{Registration}'
   target='_blank'>Register Now!</a>`
 * The link displays / works as intended. If I use
    `{has_Registration}<a href='#
   _ATT{Registration}' target='_blank'>Register Now!</a>{/has_Registration}`
 * or
 * `{has_att_Registration}<a href='#_ATT{Registration}' target='_blank'>Register
   Now!</a>{/has_att_Registration}`
 * The link is hidden regardless of whether the value is filled or not. I know this
   has to be a simple syntax error on my part, but I can’t seem to figure this one
   out. Please Help, I’ll be your best friend! Unless you don’t want to be best 
   friends, then I’ll just play it cool and say thanks! 🙂
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fevent-manager-conditional-custom-attribute%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

    This will require
   a bit of custom PHP coding as there are no conditional placeholders for custom
   attributes as standard.
 * Something based on the following thread will need to be added to eg your child
   theme functions.php. If you don’t have a child theme, there’s a bit of learning
   to do before you get to this.

   The first coded answer should do as you want.
 * As always, it is best to test this on a staging site as it’s easy to break your
   site if you make a small mistake. Make a full backup first as well.
