How to hide visibility options for empty values

Hi there,

In Setting > Profile, I want to hide rows of fields that do not have a value set for them.

Currently the code is as such:
[ edited – please use the ‘code’ button when sharing code. ]
```
<?php while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?>
	<tr <?php bp_field_css_class(); ?>>
		<td class="field-name"><?php bp_the_profile_field_name(); ?></td>
		<td class="field-visibility"><?php bp_profile_settings_visibility_select(); ?></td>
	</tr>
<?php endwhile; ?>
```
I have tried to add <?php if ( bp_field_has_data() ) : ?> but that doesn’t seem to hide the row either. I tried doing a var_dump of the bp_the_profile_field_value() but it returns NULL for all fields even though some of them do have values.

Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong here?

Nice hat.

Yes, the use ofbp_field_has_data() can be a bit confusing.
Remember that in this context, rather than check the field value, it checks if there is data in the visibility setting for that field – which will always be true.
And bp_the_profile_field_value will be NULL for the same reason.

Try this:
```
<?php while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?>
	<?php 
	$this_field = xprofile_get_field_data( bp_get_the_profile_field_id(), bp_displayed_user_id(), 'comma' ); 
	if( !empty( $this_field ) ) :
	?>
	   <tr <?php bp_field_css_class(); ?>>
		<td class="field-name"><?php bp_the_profile_field_name(); ?></td>
		<td class="field-visibility"><?php bp_profile_settings_visibility_select(); ?></td>
	   </tr>
	<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
```

Thanks, Shane! That worked perfectly.

Would it also be possible to add that if the visibility option is not editable, to hide it as well?
