Some of our entries don’t have all the fields filled out, is there a way to NOT display empty fields? We are using the Slim Plus template.

Thanks!

For those… you need to edit the entry and remove those custom fields name values and then save the updated entry. If you have nothing to enter for the custom field values, you should add them to the entry. The reason those are being displayed is because the names have been entered and therefore they are not “empty”

Hope that helps!

I was afraid of that, so we would have to delete them in each individual entry?

re: so we would have to delete them in each individual entry?

Yes, unfortunately so.

That said, there might be an alternative, try this…

Install the Code Snippets plugin.

Add a new snippet with the following code:

add_filter( 'cn_entry_output_meta_key', 'cn_skip_empty_entry_meta_value', 10, 4 );

function cn_skip_empty_entry_meta_value( $html, $atts, $key, $value ) {

    if ( 0 < strlen( $value ) ) return '';

    return $html;
}

Save and Activate the snippet.

This is untested, but if it works, it should “skip” rendering any meta keys where the value is empty.

Hope this helps, let me know.
