Conditionals

The Field Connections shortcode syntax supports conditionals, allowing you to display dynamic content based on the evaluation of statements as TRUE or FALSE. This functionality is available for all Beaver Themer field connection shortcodes, including Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), BigCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, The Events Calendar, and WooCommerce.

Statements​

The conditional shortcode syntax supports three statements: if, if not, and else.

If [wpbb-if]​

The [wpbb-if] statement enables you to display custom content if the statement evaluates to TRUE.

[wpbb-if some-field-connection]

  If True, show this!

[/wpbb-if]

Else [wpbb-else]​

The [wpbb-else] statement extends the [wpbb-if] statement to display custom content when the [wpbb-if] statement evaluates to FALSE.

[wpbb-if some-field-connection]

    If True, show this!

[wpbb-else]

    If False, show this instead!

[/wpbb-if]

If Not [wpbb-if !]​

The [wpbb-if !] statement allows you to display custom content when the statement evaluates to FALSE. The exclamation mark ! functions as the logical operator NOT.

[wpbb-if !some-field-connection]

    If False, show this!

[/wpbb-if]

Limitation​

Nested if statements are not supported. Meaning you can't place an if statement inside another, as shown in the example below. If you need more complex conditional logic, we recommend creating a custom shortcode instead.

[wpbb-if some-field-connection]

    If True, show this!

    [wpbb-if some-field-connection]

        If also True, show this!

    [/wpbb-if]

[wpbb-else]

    If False, show this instead!

[/wpbb-if]
