Hi,

I’m using WPSP to show Event Calendar events in the homepage, in a GeneratePress Element (but I hope to do it using a GP hook). I’m wondering if it’s possible to show a list only if it has content using a conditional?

Thanks.

Álvaro

Hi there,

So you want to check whether the post WPSP is about to display has content, and if it doesn’t, don’t display it?

Let me know 🙂

Not sure if it will work, but you could try this function:
```
add_filter( 'post_class', function( $classes ) {
    global $post;

    if ( ! $post->post_content ) {
        $classes[] = 'no-content';
    }

    return $classes;
} );
```
Then you can do this:
```
.wp-show-posts .no-content {
    display: none;
}
```
Let me know 🙂

Hi Tom,

I was sure I had already replied to your comment but seems not…

Does this apply only to posts-posts or also other post types? I tried it and couldn’t get it to work with the WPSP and Event Calendar events (post_type=tribe_events).

Also, if I manage this to work, how could I hide the container div, that’s even harder, right?

Thanks.

The post_class filter would apply to all posts on your website, regardless of post type. The CSS would only apply to posts inside a WPSP list.

The WPSP container? This would likely be very difficult, unfortunately.
