How can I add conditional visibility in Webflow to prevent a div from appearing on a published page if a CMS field is empty?

TL;DR
  • Access the Collection Template page, click on the target div, and go to the Settings panel.  
  • Add a condition under Conditional Visibility to show when the CMS field "is set" and publish after testing.

To ensure a div only appears on a published page if a specific CMS field is not empty, you can set up conditional visibility in Webflow by following these steps:

1. Access the Collection Template Page

  • Navigate to the appropriate Collection Template page where you want to control the visibility of the div.
  • Ensure that you're working within a Collection List or a Collection Item on this page.

2. Select the Target Div

  • Click on the div that you want to show or hide based on the CMS field's content.
  • Make sure this div is directly associated with a Collection Item in your project.

3. Apply Conditional Visibility

  • Go to the Settings panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer.
  • Scroll down to find the Conditional Visibility section.
  • Click on “+ Add Condition” to set a new condition for visibility.

4. Set Specific Conditions

  • Choose the CMS field that should determine visibility from the dropdown.
  • Set the condition to be “is set” to ensure the div only appears when this CMS field has content.

  

5. Preview and Publish

  • Preview the page to check if the logic works as expected.
  • Once confirmed, publish the changes to make the conditional visibility live on your site.

Summary

By using Conditional Visibility in Webflow, you can prevent a div from displaying on a published page when a related CMS field is empty. Remember to test and publish the settings to apply the changes effectively.
