How to Hide Divi Sections, Rows, and Columns Automatically When ACF Fields Are Empty

When building dynamic templates using Divi + Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), you may want certain sections or columns to appear only if the ACF field has a value.
For example:

• Show the “Contact Information” section only if the product has phone/email fields
• Hide empty specifications
• Hide columns that have no ACF content

Divi makes this very easy using Conditional Display Logic.

In this guide, I’ll show you how you can hide:

• Individual blurbs
• Columns
• Entire sections

…based on whether ACF fields contain data.

Step 1: Edit Your Template in Divi Builder

Open your template in:

Divi → Theme Builder → Product Template (or any template)

Here I created a Product Template and added multiple ACF fields to each product.

Step 2: Add ACF Fields Inside Blurbs

Now add your ACF content inside multiple Blurb Modules.

I added the ACF field value inside the Body of each blurb.

• Title = Your label (e.g., “Toll Free Number”)
• Body = Select ACF Field from Dynamic Content

This allows each blurb to show the product data dynamically.

Step 3: Apply Display Conditions on Each Column

Now, we want each column to appear only if its blurb has ACF data.

To do this:

1. Open Column Settings
2. Go to Advanced → Conditions
3. Add condition:
   • Custom Field
   • Field Name → your ACF field key (example: toll_free_number)
   • Display Only If → Is Any Value

This means:

• If that ACF field has ANY data → the column appears
• If the field is empty → the column hides automatically

Repeat this for all columns with ACF blurbs.

Step 4: Hide Entire Section When All ACF Fields Are Empty

Now we want the main section to hide if all inner fields are empty.

To do that:

1. Open Section Settings
2. Go to Advanced → Conditions
3. Add multiple conditions for all ACF fields you used
4. Use “OR” logic (default behavior)
5. Condition:
   • Display only if Custom Field is any value

This means:

• If any one ACF field has data → Section is visible
• If all ACF fields are empty → Section hides automatically

Step 5: Save Template & Test

That’s it!

Now:

• If any column has its ACF data → column shows
• If ACF data is missing → column hides
• If all ACF blurbs are empty → entire section hides
• If at least one field has a value → section appears normally

This keeps your product or page templates clean, dynamic, and fully automated.
