ACF Time Picker

[Creativenw]

Hi team,

I ham using a datepicker and if the date is left empty in the back end. the front end shows the time of the entry was made.

I have had two others web guys check on their servers and setup to rule out server issues and they have same thing. One said

"I tried it on a local setup and when I leave the field blank I get the current time of the laptop (depending on timezone settings in WP) output onto my page. "

So if left blank it seems to just show time of day. Is there a way to force it to show nothing or an else of if nothing thens ay “Closed” as I am using the timepicker to show opening hours.

I have attached screenshot of back end showing blank field and front end showing the time that I created the entry.

Thanks a lot

Hi Mark,

I see you added some invalid tags and quotations on your dynamic code

<h4 style="text-align: right;">{{dc:post:meta key="friday_opening_hours" <span>type="time" "format=“hh:mm a"</span>}} - {{dc:post:meta key="friday_closing_hours" <span>type="time" "format=“hh:mm a"</span>}}</h4>

Please keep it clean

e.g. {{dc:acf:post_field field="sunday_closing_hours" fallback="closed"}}

The fallback attribute is what you’re looking for, it will substitute if the value is empty.

Hope it helps,
Cheers!
