WordPress – If Statement

[TheDoc]

If you completely take the code out, does it still display something? It’s an easy way to check if you’re editing the right file.

@TheDoc No, it doesn’t output anything if I remove the code. Although, when I was speaking with Jamy, he had me firebug it and it showed quotes in the markup but not in view source. I’ll screenshot.

A link would also be fantastic!

@TheDoc No can do, it’s local. http://i47.tinypic.com/6pyivk.png

It looks like it’s working fine!

[chrisburton]

@TheDoc, That’s because I put the code back that I had before. If I use @ChrisxClash’s solution, I get this: http://i46.tinypic.com/2q9j8de.png

I’m really close on this (I think).

$meta = $custom_metabox->the_meta('description', TRUE);

if ($meta):

echo '
'.$meta.'
'; ?>

Returns

Array

Instead of the actual content but if I don’t have any content in the metabox, it doesn’t return anything, which is exactly what I wanted.

All I need is help figuring out why it returns “Array” instead of the actual content.

I had someone on the WordPress forums help me further.

Solution:

$meta = $custom_metabox->the_meta('description', true);

if (!empty($meta)):

echo '
'.$meta.'
'; ?>

Thanks everyone for your help. I owe you one.

@ChrisxClash Thanks for explaining. Much appreciated.
