Use #if and #endif to conditionally include content in WS Form. In forms in WordPress, this lets you show or hide content when an expression evaluates to true or false.

These variables can be used in a variety of locations, including the Send Email action, Show Message action, conditional logic, and field mappings to external APIs.

You can compare values with operators such as equals, does not equal, less than, greater than, contains, starts with, and ends with. You can also combine multiple conditions with && and ||.

  • Show or hide content

    WS Form outputs content when a condition is true and ignores it when false.

  • Simple syntax

    The basic structure is #if(expression) content #endif.

  • Check for blank values

    Without an operator, WS Form checks whether the input is not blank.

  • Compare different values

    Compared values can be a string or another valid WS Form variable.

  • Use logical operators

    Separate multiple conditions with && for AND or || for OR.

  • Support dynamic messages

    Use conditional content in messages and email output.

  • Map conditionally to APIs

    Use #if and #endif in field mappings to external APIs.

  • React to value changes

    Conditional logic can reassess #if(…) conditions when a compared value changes.
