Use Single Template only if specific custom field is used

Support
#1

Hi,

I have created a custom single template for a specific type of posts (Book Reviews), and want to conditionally only use it if the following field is not empty in the post:

{{dc:looper:field key="Book.image.url"}}

I’m mainly doing this because I’ve got older posts that need to be updated to be on the same standard as the newer ones, and until I do this, they will look very weird.

I’ve tried using conditional logic like this:

But the Single Template is still used for all posts in the “Libros” category.

Hello Kevin,

Thanks for writing in! Regretfully, you cannot use {{dc:looper:field key="Book.image.url"}} dynamic content for the layout assignment condition. It can only be used inside a Looper. I think you should be using post meta instead. I am just not sure what the field name is. I would love to check your site if we can access it. You can create a secure note in your next reply with the following info:
– Link to your site
– WP login URL
– WP username
– WP password
– WP Administrator Role
– Confirmation that we can access and make changes to your site
