      The more I learn piklist, the more I like it! 🙂

      Quick question.. everything I see in regards to conditionals it for admin-pages, what about for frontend. For example, below.. I can check to see if the user added data to the field, if so, it shows on front end, if not code does not display. Love to see a sample or two on how to do this.

      1) basic if and
      2) an if/else statements

      <?php if( get_field('image') ): ?>
   <img src="<?php the_field('image'); ?>" />
<?php endif; ?>

      * no rush on this. I just looked around the User Guide, and searched forums and seems to be limited info on displaying on front end. Thanks in advance!

      Since Piklist does thing the WordPress way, you would use get_post_meta(). get_field() on the other hand is a function only available in ACF.

      <?php $image = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'image',true);

if( !empty($image) ) : ?>
    <img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" alt="" />
<?php endif; ?>

      @liquidws– I’m guessing your an ACF convert since you posted the ACF custom function get_field. The way ACF works you need to use their custom functions… but not with Piklist. Since Piklist does everything the WordPress way, you would just use a standard WordPress function.

      For example, if you’re checking to see if this field exists on a post you would use the standard WordPress function get_post_meta:

      <?php $image = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'image', true ); ?>

<?php if($image): ?>
   <img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" />
<?php endif; ?>
