74 PointsIf Statement
I am trying to use an if statement to display part of a custom post type, only if there is content in it.
It seems to work, but it removes my css styling, does anyone know why this is? Here is my code:
<?php if ( the_field('link') ) : ?>
<a target="_blank" href="<?php the_field('link') ?>"><p class="register-green">Click to Attend - It's Free!</p></a>
<?php endif; ?>

I have edited your post to display the code properly. Please see this thread regarding posting code to the forum. :)

28,690 PointsWhen you check the source, is the paragraph tag being written?
If so, are there other class names being written and the one you want is not?

28,690 PointsTry using get_field('link') in your if statement. Continue to use the_field('link') inside the href of the anchor.
Like so:
<?php if ( get_field('link') ) : ?>
<a target="_blank" href="<?php the_field('link') ?>"><p class="register-green">Click to Attend - It's Free!</p></a>
<?php endif; ?>

74 PointsSorry it did not copy my code in properly, this is wrapped in the following php:
<?php if ( the_field('link') ) : ?> <?php endif; ?>
